Set in the Northwoods of Maine in an isolated logging community, Tanglefoot follows fourteen-year-old Charlie King as he learns the ropes of making, transporting and selling moonshine during the summer of 1920 right after prohibition begins. Charlie works for his controlling father, Caleb, and his kind Uncle Amos, and learns that he has unexpected abilities as a Native American shaman from his mentor, Hiram Francis.

Authentic details about working in the woods and the natural surroundings of the lake set a dark framework for the consequences of the King family's business.

Industry Reviews

“Tanglefoot, Book one of the ‘Suncookers series by B. W. Edwards, is a thrilling and haunting coming-of-age tale about a 14-year-old boy caught up in the dangerous business of rum-running in 1920’s rural Maine.”

–– Hank Parker, author of Containment

"...it's a terrific book – a fast paced, realistic, at times heartbreaking yet completely unsentimental coming-of-age story, set in a place and an era that the author clearly knows very well."

–– Reeve Lindburgh
