Babcock
by Joe Cottonwood
A fat boy with the blues. A skinny girl who runs marathons. And a con man on the lam. If you liked Clear Heart, or if you liked Boone Barnaby, you'll like this one, too. The themes are a bit more grown up than Boone Barnaby, but it's still family-friendly for reading. For any age it's my brand of writing: humane, down to earth, good-natured, sometimes funny and sometimes sad.Babcock plays electric guitar. He's writing songs - and trying to figure out the true meaning of rock and roll - but he keeps coming up with the blues. Babcock is trying to start a friendship with a girl, Kirsten, who is as different as can be: Kirsten is skinny; she hates insects. And she's white. Babcock is fat; he speaks to dragonflies. And he's black.In some ways Kirsten is like a dragonfly: quick and bright. She never walks; she runs everywhere. Her family has money. Her mother thinks Babcock is a little too "rough." Opposites attract. But can they make music?Babcock's family is struggling for money. The
