Una rivisitazione in chiave moderna di David Copperfield ambientata nella Virginia dei giorni nostri. Demon, figlio di una madre single e adolescente e nato in una roulotte, non possiede altro che un’arguzia feroce e un talento per la sopravvivenza. Tra i pericoli moderni dell’affidamento, il lavoro minorile, l’abbandono scolastico, il successo nello sport, i primi amori, la dipendenza e sconfitte di vario genere, Demon dovrà fare i conti con una società per la quale è invisibile, in cui persino i supereroi hanno abbandonato la provincia a favore delle grandi città. Un romanzo che parla a una nuova generazione di giovani che si sentono dispersi e senza un posto nel mondo.

Demon's story begins with his traumatic birth to a single mother in a single-wide trailer, looking 'like a little blue prizefighter.' For the life ahead of him he would need all of that fighting spirit, along with buckets of charm, a quick wit, and some unexpected talents, legal and otherwise. In the southern Appalachian Mountains of Virginia, poverty isn't an idea, it's as natural as the grass grows.
