To The Blue Sea

Fourteen year-old Charles Lublin thinks he has everything he needs: a three-foot bong, an air-brushed Bunger surfboard, and a fine half ounce of Columbian. It is the summer of 1977 and he's just graduated from Ventnor Middle School.But there is one thing he hasn't reckoned on: growing up.An honest reflection on coming of age during the dope decade. By turns raucous and introspective, dead-on funny and elegiac, it beautifully describes a lost era.
