Sebastian McManus and The Summer of Secrets

By Terry Rowan

Meet Sebastian McManus, thirteen years old, one of four brothers growing up on a tiny street in a small town on Long Island in 1953.In that summer of summers, Sebastian is thrust out of his Eden by suddenly encountering a series of bizarre and often hilarious events: the girl across the street who becomes a siren she-devil; a crazy holy-man; an eighth grade nun who terrifies her students; and even a brutal killing.Without initial awareness he also meets an old-man Buddha who forever changes him and his view of how the world really works. Sebastian discovers he wants to know something that is good, true, and real amid all his fear and vulnerability, something simple and pure that will enable him to stand up and live.
