+ Want to read

Cameron's Court is set in modern day Chicago and is narrated by a troubled, young, native Chicagoan named Cameron Hoffenberg. The events he narrates take place one afternoon between a Christmas party for his high school achievements internship program and the ballet recital of his 4-year-old niece, Chloe. Under the physical and psychological turmoil of adolescence, a host of fragmented thoughts, brash observations, anti-establishment attitudes, strange encounters and deep revelations about himself and the secret importance of that day lead to increasing erratic behavior as he tries to find his place in the world.
