The Serpent King

In The Serpent King, Dill faces vipers in his life, from his father's extreme faith to bullies at school. His only refuge is his friendships with outcasts Lydia and Travis. As they begin senior year, their paths diverge, leaving Dill to face his future alone. Debut author Jeff Zentner offers a comic and unflinching look into growing up in the Bible Belt and finding oneself amidst personal struggles.
