“If you liked The Christmas Story by Jean Shepherd, you should try Lost Moon Summer. You'll encounter the perilous sport of ice cream truck trolling, sleepaway camp, bicycle dreams…and wistfully wonderful lists: if the Iliad had been written in the Eisenhower era, Homer's catalogue of ships might have been replaced by these inventories of Swanson TV dinners, movie theater candy, pulp magazines, and macabre TV series. Lost Moon Summer is an elegantly evocative tale that unfolds in some place resembling New Haven, Connecticut at some time resembling the late 1950s revealing some corner of the twentieth-century American soul.”

“You don’t have to be a child of the 50’s and 60’s to appreciate the timeless essence of the shenanigans of young adults in this marvelous, semi-autobiographical tale of growing up in America. From attempting to avoid the wrath of adults and bigger bullies lurking in the neighborhood, we follow our protagonist through one summer on an emotional seesaw, ranging from pure joy to pre-adolescent angst on the New England Sound. Great year-round read for everyone, from pre-teens to octogenarians, not just those experiencing a LOST MOON SUMMER.”
— Joanne Storkan | Emmy Award winning producer
“Stu Lisson has written a glorious nostalgic time capsule about an era that some readers may find hard to believe ever existed in America. But even if you don’t believe every word is true, you will wish it was true and that you’d been there.”
— Ken Aguato | Emmy winning writer/producer Miracle on 42nd Street
