Flux/ Llewellyn Publications  pb YA fiction 9780738733364 In the midst of a sweltering Georgia summer, Salomon’s eponymous protagonist, a motherless teenage outcast with no memory of the accident that left him gruesomely scarred, wavers between succumbing to an overwhelming sense of decay or continuing the struggle to recover his identity. With a father who’s rarely at home, the boy finds an unlikely companion in an incorrigible classmate, and together the two sift through secrets of Henry’s past that have long been buried in his family’s house. As a hurricane threatens to ravage the Georgia coast, Henry’s unsettling past is jostled back to the present, haunting his dreams and stalking the very streets of his city.   Peter Adam Salomon is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) and served as a judge for the Savannah Children’s Book Festival Young Writers Contest.
