Demon Copperhead : a novel

Kingsolver, Barbara (author.). Dickens, Charles, 1812-1870 adaptation of (work): David Copperfield. (Added Author).

Summary: "Demon Copperhead is set in the mountains of southern Appalachia. It's the story of a boy born to a teenage single mother in a single-wide trailer, with no assets beyond his dead father's good looks and copper-colored hair, a caustic wit, and a fierce talent for survival. In a plot that never pauses for breath, relayed in his own unsparing voice, he braves the modern perils of foster care, child labor, derelict schools, athletic success, addiction, disastrous loves, and crushing losses. Through all of it, he reckons with his own invisibility in a popular culture where even the superheroes have abandoned rural people in favor of cities."
