{"product_id":"9780997252439","title":"Dragonfly: A Childhood Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eW. Nikola-Lisa explores new terrain—his childhood experiences growing up in south Texas during the early 1960s. Unlike his previous books, this is not a book for young children as the author explores the darker elements growing up in a harsh environment. Although the work feels like a memoir, it reads like a novel with the author’s spare, unrelenting narrative a perfect accompaniment to the time, place, and underlying familial issues. If you like this book, then you might also like Shark Man, a novel for the middle grades, which picks up where the author left off in Dragonfly taking the reader to the Florida beaches where young Billy-Boy learns how to skateboard, surf, and make new friends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gyroscope Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49896214003952,"sku":"9780997252439","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780997252439","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
