The Saskiad Book

Magical, wondrous, breathtaking ... I want the whole world to read this epic coming-of-age tale! Saskia is one of the quirkiest, most loveable and carefully drawn characters I've ever met. She milks cows, reads Homer, and lives on an old farm that used to be a commune. Abandoned by her father and neglected by her oovy-groovy mother, Saskia survives her loneliness by diving deep into imaginary worlds populated by explorers and adventurers. And then ... after a postcard arrives from her missing father, the adventure starts to become very real. Though originally published for an adult audience, Brian Hall's masterpiece explores so authentically the mind and heart of a blossoming young woman, it should be read by sensitive, intelligent teenagers everywhere.… read more...

Product Description
Longing to escape the rundown commune where she lives with her organic-farmer mother, assorted half-siblings, and a cow named Marilyn, the precociously well-read Saskia White, 12, imagines herself the noble contemporary of Odysseus, Marco Polo, and other adventurers. Saskia's elaborate fantasies are soon upstaged by her real-life, long-lost father, who leads Saskia and her best friend Jane on a camping trip that turns into an epic adventure of love, sex, and lies.
Saskia is as unforgettable as her own heroes, a young girl whose story resonates with a rare and joyous sense of life and discovery.
