This is a book to savor ... Stories such as this are too infrequently encountered. Treasure it. Grady Harp, Top 50 Reviewer
In 1968, four thirteen year old boys of diverse racial background meet on Cape Cod and form an unlikely bond which lasts a lifetime or two or three - two Wampanoag twins, Amos and Vern (poor native Americans), an Irish Catholic kid from Southie, Timmy (middle class summer cottage people) and a WASP, Brett (of rich second and third home snobage). You would never find these four's parents socializing together at a cookout. But in the summer of sixty eight, the boys were inseparable. They did things, which led them to try other things and as a result, find something, which ultimately leaves them having opened Pandora's Box, a box which will take them 24 years and two lifetimes to close ... or so they think.
Ever hear of Pukwudgees? No? There's a good reason for that. Maybe it's better that way ... Cape Cod has a secret that nobody knows ... well that's not true ... though those that did, usually didn't for long. But the few that knew and lived ... oh, never mind ... it probably won't concern you ... Welcome to Cape Cod! Enjoy your stay ... avoid the marshes and dunes ... and you should be fine ... I think ...
Mayhem, suspense, romance, humor, tears and non-stop thrills. The ride of your life with unforgettable characters, both good and evil. ITCHIWAN, a Mythological, Cape Cod, Native American, Time Travel Adventure.
WARNING: The content of this story is riveting and addictive and apt to make you in-cognizant of your surroundings. It is strongly suggested it be read with your back to the water if at the beach.
Buckle up for a fast pace thriller that includes, a golf shot of a lifetime, a sunrise surgical fishing charter, an alleged witch, Bill Cosby, the former Wharf Tavern in Boston, Rockefeller Center in NYC, a shillelagh and a sling shot, up and coming Southie mobsters, pro football, Samuel Bellamy, and of course, mom, blueberry pie and the girl he left behind. This story is whacked.
ITCHIWAN - everybody loves a good bedtime story. But now that you're grown up, nobody reads them to you anymore. Treat yourself. Let me tell you a story ...
"... after only a few pages I found that I couldn't put it down. The book is action-packed, gruesome in more than a few places, but laugh-out-loud funny in others. … as the mother of four sons, … I was drawn to Mr. Cunis's four young protagonists .... They are well defined, likable, and easy to root for. … It's gratifying, given some of the divisiveness that we're seeing today, that the boys not only come together despite their cultural differences, but some of those differences are even shared and celebrated …” Joanne Briana-Gartner, The Enterprise - Cape News.net
“I’ve never been a big fan of gore or horror but these Pukwudgees are somehow lovable in their horrific mayhem! Pomarat could become one of the most evil characters of all time!” Tom Anderson, author of the musical “The Dismal Life of Conrad Crum”
