Tristram Hoosier

Your Face Will Freeze That Way! Tristram Hoosier

?I thought it was brilliant, really brilliant. What a smart boy Tristram is.??Mrs. Hoosier

?I?m really a lot cooler than the book makes me out to be.??Jason Hoosier

?Okay, so Tristram wrote a book. Big deal. Anybody could do that. He thinks he?s so big all of a sudden. But I can still kick his ass, and he better never forget it.??Aaron Hoosier

Tristram Hoosier, age 12, gets in a fight at school over a haircut, becomes a vegetarian for a day, sneaks out to watch a midnight movie and builds a fort in the woods?perfectly normal activities for a seventh-grader growing up in Indiana. But he is surrounded by an endless string of tragic and sometimes criminal characters that lend each story a uniquely comic twist.
