Information

Fifteen-year-old Lynn Marie Sugrue is doing her best to make it through a difficult summer. Her mother works long hours as a nurse, and Lynn suspects that her mother's pill-popping boyfriend has enlisted her in his petty criminal enterprises. Lynn finds refuge in online flirtations, eventually meeting up with a troubled young soldier, Logan Loy, and inviting him home. When he's forced to stay over in a storage space accessible through her closet, and the Army subsequently lists him as AWOL, she realizes that he's the one thing in her life that she can control. Meanwhile, her mother's boyfriend is on the receiving end of a series of increasingly violent threats, which places Lynn squarly in the cross-hairs. Ages 15+.

Praise for David Zimmerman's "The Sandbox"

"[A] gripping first novel."--"The New York Times Book Review"

"[A] remarkable debut.... Zimmerman is a talent to watch."--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)

"Zimmerman adroitly depicts [Iraq's] isolated moonscape--a place as liable to produce hallucinations and heat exhaustion as it is to churn up sandstorms that last for days."--"Los Angeles Times"
