Description
Something to Be DesiredIn life Lucien Taylor has made several mistakes, but the two most grievous are as follows: leaving his wife and son to take up with his old flame, Emily; and putting up Emily's bail when she is arrested for murder. The upshot is that Lucien is left stranded in Montana, with a malodorous hot spring and a squandered sense of purpose. As told by Thomas McGuane, Lucien's attempt to recoup his losses makes for a funny, rueful, and beautifully rendered
In life Lucien Taylor has made several mistakes, but the two most grievous are as follows: leaving his wife and son to take up with his old flame, Emily; and putting up Emily's bail when she is arrested for murder. The upshot is that Lucien is left stranded in Montana, with a malodorous hot spring and a squandered sense of purpose. As told by Thomas McGuane, Lucien's attempt to recoup his losses makes for a funny, rueful, and beautifully rendered portrait of American manhood on the rocks--a book that says volumes about the lives of dogs and falcons, the yearnings of sons for fathers, and the skeptical truce that men and women sometimes reach when they get tired of fighting.Binding Type: Paperback

My nine year old daughter loved it, now her friends are borrowing it.
Format: Paperback
My nine year old daughter loved it. She read it the day she got it, and then re-read the first two volumes. As a retired Language Arts teacher, books like this warm my heart. Excellent engaging story line.

Great condition, beautiful artwork, great for a broad range of reading levels
Format: Paperback
My sisters are loving this series. We pre-ordered the 3rd graphic novel and they’re already asking if there will be a 4th!
My sisters are both in 4th grade but sit at very different reading levels. “A” has a difficult time with reading comprehension and focus, so graphic novels have been a wonderful way to introduce her into the magical world of books. I firmly believe that graphic novels have helped her gain confidence and strengthen her reading skills… she now regularly reads chapter books!
Sister “B” is a very strong reader; she loves both chapter books and graphic novels. Sorceline and Wings of Fire are her absolute favorites right now. This is a great option for when she still wants to be engrossed in a story but focus some more on imagery, giving her brain a break from the heavier stuff.
We can’t wait to see if more books will be released in this series.
