"Anyone experiencing a concert surrounded by stoned, out-of-control partiers will nod along with Scotty's long, strange trip." Voya
"Fast, wry first-person commentary" Booklist
"A coming-of-age story that has a lot of life truths" TeensRead Too
"Dutton's debut will appeal most to readers who share Scotty's taste in music and recreation." Publishers Weekly
"Freaked is a long, strange trip with a surprisingly agreeable main character and an appealing vibe." Akron Beacon Journal
"The main character of Scottie is a unique and constantly surprising invention. If you love The Grateful Dead then you'll love this book; however, I'm not much of a fan of the Dead and I STILL loved it--for its language, its wonderfully creative plot, and again, for its incredible main character, whose puzzled meditations on drugs, family, and friendship strike close to the bone.There's humor and insight on every page. Highly recommended for young adults and adults." David Crouse--Author of Copy Cats, winner of the Flannary O'Connor award for short fiction and The Man Back There winner of the Mary McCarthy award.
