Camp Pock-A-Wocknee & the Dynomite Summer of '77

By Eric Glickman

Book Overview

Sleepaway camp... it was all a Jewlusion.

"Full of mischief, raging hormones, and a whiff of the supernatural, Glickman's romp is an endearing, gleefully raunchy coming-of-age tale." -Kirkus Reviews, 'Best Books of 2023' issue

"Glickman's graphic novel will hit a rich vein of nostalgia for many who miss the halcyon days of color wars and canteen." -The Forward

"The story is laugh-out-loud wacky" -San Diego Jewish World

NAMED ONE OF KIRKUS' BEST BOOKS OF 2023

Camp Pock-a-Wocknee & the DYN-O-MITE Summer of '77 is a coming-of-age graphic novel celebrating the traditions, friendships, and idiocy that make up summers at Jewish sleepaway camp.

Combining the nostalgic mood of The Wonder Years, the raucousness of Superbad, and the adolescent angst of Pen15, this 300-page graphic novel juxtaposes classic, black and white, comic strip art with stories that capture the tension created when the innocence of childhood crashes into the messiness of adolescence.
