In Search of Snow
Author: Luis Alberto Urrea
Publisher: University of Arizona Press
ISBN: 9780816520152
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 276
Book Description
In the hot Arizona desert of the late 1950s, Mike McGurk comes of age in one big, riotous gush. Trapped pumping gas at a desolate roadstop, he yearns for things he has never known: love, hope, and the soft, white calmness of snow. Mike's world is filled with a menagerie of quirky characters, who cope with the weight of their unfulfilled dreams with bravado, humor, and violence. Mike trades snappy insults with his macho father, Texaco Turk McGurk, a moustachioed amateur boxer and self-proclaimed war hero who is unable to talk about love. Mike lusts after Lily, his seductive, poem-writing cousin. He cowers before and then confronts the vicious Ramses, grandson of Mr. Sneezy, the wisecracking Apache. And he is rescued by his best friend, Bobo, who delivers him into the care of the loving and generous Mama and Papa Garcia. In Search of Snow is an explosive coming-of-age adventure, full of hilarious episodes and still, poignant moments. Like a blue-collar Don Quixote, Mike must blow up his windmills before he can set off to find the things he lacks, especially the snow that will temper the passion he has just set aflame.

Book Description
"It has snowed overnight, and the snow is PERFECT--for snowmen, for forts, for a whole school coming together to make the greatest snow structure ever! Barbara Reid takes on a quintessentially Canadian topic in her famous Plasticine style--with an exciting new twist! Even though a snow day isn't declared, first-grader Scott and fourth-grader Jim are looking forward to playing in the snow at recess and lunch. They daydream the morning away, making plans: Jim doodles snowmen; Scott plans the Totally Massive Indestructible Snow Fortress Of Doom. Things don't turn out quite as planned, but by the end of the day the whole school has pitched in to make something even better, and Jim and Scott, formerly strangers, have become friends. Barbara blends the schoolyard of her own Toronto childhood with the ones she visits today into a seamless, timeless Canadian tale that will transport every reader to his or her own favourite snowy day. Barbara Reid begins with her trademark Plasticine art and adds bright watercolour spots in a sequential panel style to add to the story. The combination takes Barbara's work to the next level--not a word or an image out of place, a fun, mixed-media delight that Canadian kids and adults will enjoy on many levels."--
