Norman Tuttle on the Last Frontier
Preview: Hear it

NORMAN TUTTLE IS, in a word, awkward. He falls off his fathers fishing boat into icy Alaskan waters. He quietly sweats on gorgeous Laura Magruder at the school dance. He gets himself on the bad side of Leonard Kopinski, an overgrown eighthgrader who shaves. As Norman contemplates a long and lonely adolescence on the Last Frontier, hes sure theres more to life than being the klutziest kid in Alaska. In 15 closely linked stories that follow Norman from age 13 to goingon 16, Tom Bodett combines rugged Alaskan adventure with a warm and funny story of a boy who may not be as lonely as he thinks.
