Five years in the making – by the team that brought you the Certified Copacetic Classic, This One Summer – Roaming is a triune portrait of youthful awakening into the dawning of adulthood.  Over the course of its over 400 pages, the Tamakis weave layer upon layer of exuberence, curiosity and experience onto a ground of adolescent innocence.  The entire tale takes place during a brief visit to New York City by the trio of Canadians at the center of this work (although there is a wonderful flashback shared by a pair of them that serves to illuminate the ground from which they are emerging).  Roaming is a highly engaging work, the takeaway from which will be very much dependent on the age of the reader – but there's something for everyone here!  For those who'd like to learn more, here's the TCJ review by Irene Velentzas, and here's a feature on the Tamakis' making of the work in The NY Times.
