[Genevieve · Rating 2 out of 5]

“Scissors” is a coming of age story that centres around the life of young man as he grows from youth to man. Young John Dean begins his journey with his father in Turkey and is soon sent off to boarding school. Life is an adventure, and he soon experiences the ups and downs of setting off on your own.

It’s a short and fairly simple book and worthy of a campfire read.
