Quick Synopsis:
The year is 1958, and in a middle-class suburb of Chicago we find Scags about to begin her summer vacation. It would be a perfect time except that her best friend, Julia, is about to leave for summer camp. After Julia leaves, Scags thinks the most difficult challenge of her summer will be making a new friend. But slowly, she notices strange things beginning to happen to her Pops. Pops, her father and favorite adult, is not the same and her mother and grandparents are speaking in hushed tones. As her relationship to her Pops changes from trusting and caring to frightening and unexpected, what begins as an innocent summer vacation quickly transforms into a roller coaster ride of actions, emotions, and trying to understand the inexplicable behavior of adults.
Scags at 7 is the first in a series of four books all told in Scags’ voice as she grows and develops, moving from the relative safety of home in Scags at 7, to the world of college in the 1960s, to New York City during the turbulent 1980s and into Scags’ middle age where she ends her saga, but not the overarching story of the entire series. The series is an attempt to capture a woman’s journey from childhood onward, a constant coming of age story that never really ends. Scags at 18 (the second volume) will be available in Fall 2010.
