Seventeen-year-old Cecil Rowe loves to write, to read, to think, and to amble about his tiny Tidewater town of Bricksburg, Virginia. Of course, if he had a driver`s license, he`d rather drive. And if he could make up his mind which girl to choose, he`d want to take one along. Cecil in Space is Sid Hite`s most thoughtful, romantic, and insightful coming-of-age novel. It captures that wonderful time in a young writer`s life when he begins to feel the power of his own words, and the precise moment in a young man`s growth when clarity can only come in a kiss.
