In the decades that followed, he continued to write for pleasure, always for pleasure—a musical about pirates, a plumbing-repair manual, a book of children’s poems, a novella about a school, and many other projects where he could indulge his hobby with a limited audience of friends, coworkers, and family. A Boy and His Rock is his first novel.
A former Teacher of The Year, Mr. Tracy cites his hundreds of students, past and present, as inspirations and the motivation for publishing this book. After seventeen years of coaxing his students to love reading and writing, he hopes this book will prove how truly entertaining storytelling can be.view less
