Year of the Amphibian

By Christopher Pickert

"A timeless, beautifully written coming-of-age story about transformation and self-acceptance." - IndieReader (5/5 stars)

What is paradise for a fourteen-year-old boy? For Conrad it's definitely not dusty Los Angeles, where he's stuck living with his mother and his cheeky little sisters. Paradise is the forest where his dad still lives, by the water where everything is beautiful, where he belongs.
