The year is 1967, the town is Pocatello, Idaho. Fresh out of high school, Rigby John is leaving behind his bohemian ex-girlfriend, his prayerful mother, his distant father, and the hay dust of his harsh farm town Catholic upbringing. As he stands by the side of the road desperately waiting for that one ride out, he reflects on the events that brought him there: the discovery of love, friendship, literature, and all the small joys that set him free. At once a tale of sexual awakening, racial enlightenment, and personal epiphany, Now Is the Hour is the disarming and sweetly winning story of one unforgettable teenager who dares to hope for a different life.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003eA risky assay into the traditional bildungsroman, with this straightforward, but luminous tale.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePublishers Weekly, Starred\u003cbr\u003eSpanbauer writes this fairly traditional coming-of-age story with a raw energy that makes it compelling.\u003cp\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSophisticated, funny, poignant, sexy coming-of-age novel...\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBooklist, ALA, Starred Review\u003cbr\u003eFull of hope, sadness and humor, this is an extended ballad in the voice of an appealing narrator People Magazine\u003cbr\u003eVividly reflecting...Grade: B+ Entertainment Weekly\u003cbr\u003eSpanbauer is a generous writer...\"Now Is the Hour\" is an engaging novel.\u003cp\u003eThe Seattle Times\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Now Is the Hour\" is at once beautiful and hilarious.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Oregonian","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44890232946917,"sku":"NP9780618872640","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780618872640.jpg?v=1730232823","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/now-is-the-hour-isbn-9780618872640","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
