Nikola-Lisa explores new terrain--his childhood experiences growing up in south Texas during the early 1960s. Unlike his previous books, this is not a book for young children as the author explores the darker elements growing up in a harsh environment. Although the work feels like a memoir, it reads like a novel with the author's spare, unrelenting narrative a perfect accompaniment to the time, place, and underlying familial issues. If you like this book, then you might also like Shark Man, a novel for the middle grades, which picks up where the author left off in Dragonfly taking the reader to the Florida beaches where young Billy-Boy learns how to skateboard, surf, and make new friends.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyroscope Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46882351251607,"sku":"9780997252422","price":756.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780997252422.webp?v=1770234600","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/dragonfly-a-childhood-memoir-9780997252422","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
