Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Set in Alaska in 1965, a coming-of-age story of loss, adventure, violence, and redemption
Fourteen-year-old Sam Barger's life changes forever when his father dies and his family is forced to move from a remote homestead and fishing camp to the busy city of Anchorage. Life in the big city hits Sam a little differently; suddenly he's surrounded by cars and girls, poverty and diversity, and new places to explore. One day he and his new friends stumble upon an abandoned nightclub, and it fires up Sam's imagination and leads him into dangers he never expected. Can he survive the wilds of Anchorage before the end of summer?
Secondhand Summer is the gripping debut novel inspired by author Dan Walker's own life and experiences.
Sam, a twelve-year-old boy who loved the homestead fishing life he left behind when his father died, moves to the big city of Anchorage where new friends lead him on forays into crime, and leave him feeling wilder and wiser.
