Book Description
Mundy Pond by Roger Maunder is a coming-of-age story about young Gordie MacAllister that’s set in Newfoundland in the late 1970’s. Gordie and Jimmy, best friends, find themselves at a turning point in their lives in the summer of 1978 when a whole series of new things are introduced to them. It is a time when they both realize that things aren’t always fun and games. Jimmy has been accustomed to a brutal, alcoholic father and Gordie has some heavy issues creeping into his sheltered life such as his mother’s cancer and his parent’s separation. Through their lost innocence, an understanding is gained.
