Book Synopsis

NAMED ONE OF KIRKUS' BEST BOOKS OF 2023!

Camp Pock-a-Wocknee & the DYN-O-MITE Summer of ‘77 is a coming-of-age graphic novel celebrating the traditions, friendships, and idiocy that make up summers at Jewish sleepaway camp.

Combining the nostalgic mood of The Wonder Years, the raucousness of Superbad, and the adolescent angst of Pen15, this 300-page graphic novel juxtaposes classic, black and white, comic strip art with stories that capture the tension created when the innocence of childhood crashes into the messiness of adolescence.



Trade Review

"I’m not certain how it’s possible to pick up so strongly on someone else’s personal nostalgia but “Glick” embeds it so deeply in this book, that by its end, I wanted to be not just at a summer camp, but there, with him and his friends, at Camp Pock-a-Wocknee, in the summer of 1977. Dyn-O-Mite, indeed!" - Force of Geek
