Advance Praise for Richard M. Brock’s

UP A TREE

 

“A perfect blend of Mark Twain-style color

undercut by modern humor. Ruby and Quinn are a

Tom and Huck for the 21st century. True brilliance

. . . in the finest American tradition.”

Forrest Gump, mix in some wild and crazy

travel adventures . . . and enjoy yourself.”

—NetGalley Review

 

“Read it as a page-turner, enjoy the

magical realism when it crops up, and

stew on the harder questions posed,

but by all means, buy this book!”
