tales of the MADMAN underground by John Barnes is not your normal book. It's about and narrated by Karl Shoemaker, who, for one year, his senior year in high school, wants to be normal. But the cards are stacked against him. He's a member of the Madmen Underground, a name the members gave their therapy group. They've been together since middle school.
They each have problems at home which has caused problems within themselves. They drink, they fight, they get locked out of their houses. But, they are friends 'til the bitter end and they'll do anything for each other.
So, join Karl and his best friend Paul, Darla who converses with her stuffed rabbit Mr. Babbitt, Squid, Cheryl, newcomer Marti, Danny and Bonny on what will be an eye-opening, fun, hopeful story. You will not forget these characters and this book.
This looks like a book I would enjoy!! Thanks for sharing!
