{"product_id":"9780888995681","title":"Far From Shore","description":"\u003cp\u003eFaced with instability on many sides, and living in an outport community in Newfoundland, fifteen-year-old Chris gropes for direction in a family broken apart by unemployment. Even his easy-going, humorous attitude fails to steady him as he stumbles through the summer after grade ten. He’s failed his year, he can’t find a summer job, and he’s incredibly bored. So the first thing he heads for is trouble — trouble that ends in a confrontation with the law. Work as a counselor at a summer camp offers the challenge of a fresh start, but it is here, amid new responsibilities, that he encounters his toughest test as a young man.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the first Canadian Young Adult Book Award and named a Best Book of the Year by School Library Journal, Far from Shore was hailed as a unique and innovative novel when it was first published in 1980. As he has done throughout his career, Kevin Major broke new ground by tackling a multinarrative structure in a young adult novel — an approach much imitated since but never more convincingly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Groundwood Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009174028528,"sku":"9780888995681","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780888995681_p0.jpg?v=1763846716","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780888995681","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
