Kenneth M. Cadow

Recenzje

Cadow s debut novel portrays a challenging coming-of-age in rural Vermont with warmth, humor, and insight. Ian observes the turmoil that surrounds him with bewilderment and deadpan humor. . . . Cadow captures Ian s engaging naïveté, which is tempered by a survivor s unflappability and a blossoming sense of irony. . . . A heartfelt novel about the challenges of youth and the value of community.
Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Ian s genuine first-person narration enriched by his penchant for pithy metaphors and similes unveils a protagonist whose innate sense of justice and tentatively hopeful perspective buoy Cadow s sober debut.
Publishers Weekly

I loved Gather. The voice is fantastic. It is a wonderful novel by a wonderful writer.

O autorze

Kenneth M. Cadow is an educator and writer. Gather is his first young adult novel. About this book, he says, In my teaching career, I have encountered dozens upon dozens of stories like Ian s: kids whose spirits are threatened to be crushed by societal disregard. The kids who are able to pull through by the ingenuity of their skill set and the strength of their character, as well as the care of their larger communities, are some of the strongest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Kenneth Cadow is the father of three remarkable adults and lives with his wife and their dog, Quinnie, in Pompanoosuc, Vermont.
