Book Synopsis A Stranger on the Planet by : Adam Schwartz
Book excerpt: In the summer of 1969, Seth Shapiro is 12 years old and the personal tumult of his life plays out against the backdrop of the first moon landing and Woodstock. Seth lives with his unstable mother, Ruth, his twin sister, Sarah, and his younger brother, Seamus, in a two-bedroom apartment in New Jersey. His father, a wealthy doctor, lives with his young French wife in a 10-room house and has no interest in Seth and his siblings. Seth is desperate to escape and over four decades, his quest sees him become the keeper of family secrets in his search for freedom.
