Grink

by JV Rootsey, Bonnie Adams (Illustrator)

Overview

A peculiar tale of a boy and his pet: ... A teenager living in a remote dilapidated farmhouse faces a crisis: Mom with a killer cancer, Grandpa going senile, his own heart beginning to fail, and no father or neighbor to help. But wait. Here comes an eccentric uncle, a genetic key, and a strange piglet. With this new pet (plus teenage determination) perhaps he can make it. But perhaps not. Only when the surrounding world is on the verge of bringing him down does he realize the reason for, and the power within, his pet.

About the Author

Raised in England and brought to America as a teenager, JV Rootsey, as restless and rebellious as an untamed camel left home at sixteen to support himself with odd jobs while attending a large San Francisco High School. Nothing slowed him down. He became Student Body President in his senior year and then lit out on his own quest, working as a construction worker, bulldozer operator, aircraft mechanic, truck driver, soda jerk, warehouseman and a multitude of other roles until he had lots of money—the stuff it took to study at, and graduate from the University of California at Berkeley. His BSEE and later MBA calmed him down enough to play engineer and manager, yet his real calling was America’s youth with whom he consistently interacts through public school workshops, recreational activities, Bible studies, etc. He is always amazed at what teenagers will and can do if given the chance.
