Colfax Avenue: Erik Raschke, who was born and raised in Denver, but currently lives in Amsterdam, will read from and sign his debut novel for young readers The Book of Samuel ($9.99 Griffin). Samuel Gerard is just your average teen, but when his dad leaves on a religious quest to ‘save the world,’ Samuel’s life takes a turn—a big turn. As Samuel tries to sort out the world around him, he begins his own journey of self-understanding, taking him squarely into the heart of his Denver neighborhood which is already threatening to burst from changing social values and mass immigration. While The Book of Samuel tells a gripping tale about the tumultuousness of being a teenager at the crossroads of religion and community, family and friends, newfound love and deep-seated hatred, the novel is ultimately a story about the joys and pains of a boy growing up in middle-America.
