SUMMARY:Banned Book Club - Lawn Boy
DESCRIPTION:Description: \n“Mike Muñoz Is a Holden Caulfield for a New Millennium.” –The New York Times Book Review \nFor Mike Muñoz\, life has been a whole lot of waiting for something to happen. Not too many years out of high school and still doing menial work–and just fired from his latest gig as a lawn boy on a landscaping crew–he’s smart enough to know that he’s got to be the one to shake things up if he’s ever going to change his life. But how? He’s not qualified for much of anything. He has no particular talents\, although he is stellar at handling a lawn mower and wielding clipping shears. But now that career seems to be behind him. So what’s next for Mike Muñoz? \nFunny\, biting\, sweet\, and ultimately inspiring novel\, bestselling author Jonathan Evison’s coming-of-age novel evokes the lives of working class people with compassion and honesty. \nNew members are always welcome! Please email leah@hpfc.lib.ms.us with any questions about the Banned Book Club. \n
