Description
In the sweltering Bicentennial summer of 1976, fourteen-year-old Vinny Perino is the new kid on Nebraska Avenue. Trading Brooklyn’s concrete for the suburbs of Long Island, he finds an unexpected brotherhood among a crew of wisecracking Newsday paperboys.
But the easy rhythm of morning routes and Fourth of July mischief doesn’t last. When a string of burglaries hits homes along Vinny’s route, suspicion lands on the boys—and a local cop with a long memory is more than willing to make it stick.
With no one else on their side, the crew sets out to prove the truth themselves—following the only lead they have and risking more than they bargained for in the process.
The news is only for a day. The legend of Nebraska Avenue is for a lifetime.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"Set in the sun-bleached haze of the Bicentennial summer of 1976, Nebraska Avenue delivers exactly the kind of easygoing, nostalgia-tinged vibe that comes with the smell of cut grass, hot pavement, and a bike bell echoing down a quiet suburban street. It’s a light‐hearted, breezy young adult novel packed with neighborhood adventures, youthful mischiefs, and a sprinkle of mystery that captures the essence of a carefree summer. [...] It’s a celebration of youth, friendship, and the memories that shape who you become and stay with you for a long time." - Independent Book Review
