Open Your Eyes, Jackson Ryder

Rudy Castaneda Lopez

4.1/5 ( ratings)

Fifteen-year-old Jackson Ryder has always loved art, but in the wake of his mother’s death, he must choose between his passion and his grieving father’s approval. Pulled from his New York home and thrust into the melting pot that is San Sebastiano, California in the 1960s, Jackson finds himself embroiled in an era of assassination, an emerging art scene, the Civil Rights Movement and The Beatles. As he learns how to deal with life, death and a new found interest in girls, drawing is the only thing stopping his world from spinning out of control.

‘His writing about art has a captivating immediacy……..Lopez is a marvelous writer, summoning a world full of danger and promise and proving that the adult domain is no more certain or assured than that of the callow teenager.’
– Stephanie Jones, Coast Review.

“This is a substantial and critically competent novel.”
– Jessie Neilson, Otago Daily Times Review.

Pages: 253

Format: Kindle Edition
