About this title

Synopsis:

Three teenagers growing up in Calamus, Oregon, in the 1960s--native American newcomer Jessie, star athlete Wade, and Wade's girlfriend, Lorna--struggle to escape the physical and mental confines of their small town. A first novel.

Review:

I love Robin's work and life.

--David James Duncan "Author of The Brothers K and The River Why "

The world of Ricochet River is the world I grew up in. I know it well.... If only I had met [Lorna] when I was growing up, she might have helped me figure it all out.

--Molly Gloss "Author of The Jump-Off Creek and The Hearts of Horses "

I like the differences between Ricochet River and A Separate Peace or A Catcher in the Rye. Those other two books are about upper-class white boys in private schools cut off from the land. Because of that they are less important to my students these days. Wade, Lorna, and Jesse share with us their small town, working class lives. The magic of Ricochet River is the story. That it's a book English teachers appreciate reflects Robin Cody's craftsmanship; that students love the book is a gift of the storyteller.

--Tom Abbey "Teacher, Calistoga (CA) High School "
