- Synopsis
- Monte Merrick is a successful screenwriter, whose credits include Memphis Belle and Mr Baseball. He lives in Malibu, California. Shelter is his first novel. 'With the author's screenwriting credits, the humour, clever dialogue, and page-turning pace are expected, but Merrick also shows remarkable depth and accomplished character development. Nelson Jaqua is as lovable, embarrassing, confused, and irresponsible as any real 13-year-old. Shelter is funny, eventful, and oddly reassuring' Booklist 'Had Catcher in the Rye's Holden Caulfield been born a decade later, he would have been Nelson Jaqua, the bright, confused and achingly self-conscious 13-year-old narrator of this touching, comic debut novel. Any postpubescent with a memory will identify' People magazine 'Nelson's efforts are described with delicacy and humour' Kirkus Reviews 'Touching, funny .... bright dialogue ... perfectly drawn characters; the dramatic, tearjerker ending demonstrates Nelson's quantum leap to maturity' Publishers Weekly
