About
When the Full Tilt Dancers give an inspiring performance at the 1995 opening of the new bingo hall in in St. John's, twelve-year-old Finbar (Barry) Squires wants desperately to join the troupe. He'd like to be known for something other than the birthmark on his cheek. But with questionable talent and an unpredictable temper, Barry's journey to stardom is jeopardized by his parents' refusal to take his dreams seriously. Thankfully, Barry has the support of a lively cast of characters, including his ever-present grandmother, Nanny Squires; his adorable baby brother, Gord; an old British rocker named Uneven Steven; a group of geriatrics from the One Step Closer to God nursing home; and Saibal, a friend with whom Barry gets up to no good. Told with humor and a healthy dose of irreverence, Barry Squires, Full Tilt takes readers on a rowdy romp through the streets of St. John's and into the Squires home, where tragedy strikes, but love prevails.
