Citrus County by John Brandon
Toby and Shelby are not like the other kids. Fifteen years old and marooned in sleepy Citrus County, Florida, they stand apart from the cliques of jocks and cheerleaders. Toby is a troubled, unloved boy with a criminal record. Shelby is the fiercely intelligent girl who is uncontrollably attracted to him. As their relationship intensifies one sticky, hot summer, a spur-of-the-moment act will come to change their lives forever...
'A great story in great prose, a story that keeps you turning pages even as you want to slow to savor them, full of characters who are real because they are so unlikely' New York Times Book Review 'Brandon's dry wit, dark imagination, and surprisingly big heart combine to reveal a Florida that, despite (or because of) being more Ted Bundy than Disney World, is absolutely worth visiting' Publishers' Weekly 'Citrus County is gorgeous and deserves to be read widely' San Francisco Chronicle 'Brandon draws his characters so deftly that we can be horrified and intrigued by them at once, and his plot just as deftly avoids cliches' St Petersburg Times
John Brandon was raised on the Gulf Coast of Florida, and has worked at a lumber mill, a windshield warehouse, and a Coca-Cola distributor. Acclaim for his first novel, Arkansas, led to his appointment as John & Renee Grisham Fellow in Creative Writing at the University of Mississippi.
