Coming-of-age and teen romance collide in a bodacious and authentic journey through the 1980s…
In February 1986, once-invisible sophomore Avery “Ace” Craig suddenly becomes the most magnetic guy at Hancock High. Armed with a Walkman and mixtapes packed with everything from A-Ha to ZZ Top, Avery charges toward manhood with confidence, charisma, and a genius IQ-but has no clue how to handle what’s next.
During a school trip to D.C., Avery shakes hands with President Reagan, gets a glimpse of his future, and has a sexual awakening, setting off a chain reaction. Girls notice him, his hormones detonate, and his friends are clueless. With no adults to turn to, Ace must navigate the thrilling, terrifying terrain alone-with only a Boy Scout Handbook, his instincts, and a Princess Leia poster to guide him.
Bodaciously True & Totally Awesome, Episode I: Bad Boy, the product of ten years’ relentless craftsmanship, takes an immersive, sensual and unflinching look at teen experience and relationships.
A saga about the freedom, romance, and epic adventure of suburban life in Cold War America, Bodaciously is for readers seeking a time machine back to the last great American decade.
