Scrambled Eggs at Midnight
By: Brad Barkley
Genre: fiction
Summary
Calliope – or Cal as she prefers to be called – is sick of traveling. Her mother, Delores, moves frequently around the country, working at different Renaissance fairs. All Cal wants is a place to call home. And a boyfriend would be nice too.
Then there’s Eliot, the firework-creating son of a Christian-fat-camp manager. Eliot’s getting tired of his father’s all religious all-the-time attitude and, in truth, so is his mother.
Shortly after Cal moves to Eliot’s town, the two meet and hit it off, Will their relationship withstand a Jewish barbecue expert, their parents, arsenic and black powder, green lips, beaches, and – of course – scrambled eggs?
Reviewer Hannah, Grade 9, Age 14
