Cecil in Space

(4) YA In a detached, sometimes bitter but rarely boring narrative, Cecil gives an idiosyncratic tour of teen life in his "podunk" hometown of Bricksburg, Virginia, where the big mystery is who defaced the town sign. Despite anticlimactic resolutions to certain plot lines, it is satisfying to watch Cecil gradually shed his cynicism as he falls into a romantic relationship with his best friend's sister.
