Inside Jacket Cover:
I love walking in the
rain. Somehow it
strengthens my small
thoughts and gives clarity
to ideas that usually
float away in dry weather.
Cecil Rowe’s ideas and dreams often float out into space. But in his seventeenth summer, he finally begins to see the real world around him. His aunt, who believes he is an astronaut, is truly insane -- and yet wise. His friend Isaac is an eccentric painter with an instinct for truth. And Isaac’s siser, Isabel, brings Cecil the most important truth of all in a kiss.
Cecil in Space is a warm, funny, and romantic novel about that moment when a young man turns his passionate perceptions into words and a young woman shows him how to keep his feet on the earth.
