About the Book
A funny/sad portrait of teenage blues and of a small, transplanted family of non-conformists.Book Synopsis
Set in coastal California, The Loss Detector is a funny/sad portrait of teenage blues and of a small, transplanted family of non-conformists. The flawed but lovable characters in Pokrass' novella remind us of how the world's most beautiful places are not always the easiest in which to thrive. Moments of giddy, perceived freedom set against resignation dot the narrative in such a way that will leave you changed.
Review Quotes
"What a fantastic book Meg has written. I love the slow reveal in this economical manner & format. The era and ages of the characters are not clearly revealed until story winds up, leaving me guessing and placing throughout the read. The perceived freedom and the resignation that dots the narrative here, with that determine for yourself ending is sublime."
- Dennis Callaci, author of 100 Cassettes
