Have you driven along historic Route 6 or through the rolling farmlands of Pennsylvania Dutch country and the popular Amish Lancaster County? Have you explored the battlefields of Gettysburg or the disappearing wilderness of the Poconos and the Appalachian mountains? Have you truly experienced the Susquehanna River? A celebration of our state's beauty, Backroads of Pennsylvania--written and photographed by local experts--takes you on routes covering nearly all corners of the Keystone State: routes that lead you to the state's most secluded and overlooked natural areas and sites that capture Pennsylvania's colorful history. Whether you're planning a day trip, looking for unusual destinations, or simply want to learn more about the region, Backroads of Pennsylvania will lead you deep into the soul of the state-beyond the bustling cities and common tourist attractions. Glenn Davis's Davis Photographic Specialties focuses on natural history photography and commercial advertising. His photography has appeared in many national publications, including Audubon, National Geographic, and Natural History magazines, Sierra Club calendars, and Hallmark cards.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE Funny and heartbreaking, this New York Times bestselling debut perfectly captures the maddening confusion of adolescence and the prickly nature of family with irony and unerring honesty. Harley Altmyer should be in college having the time of his life. He should be free from the backwards Pennsylvania coal town he calls home, with its lack of jobs and no sense of humor. Instead, he’s constantly reminded of just how messed up everything is... Harley’s mother is in prison for killing his father, so he’s in charge of bringing up his younger sisters and working two jobs to pay the bills—and that doesn’t leave a lot of time for distractions. But lately, he’s getting more and more sidetracked by lusting after Callie Mercer, his middle-aged neighbor. As he struggles to keep it together, things begin to spin out of control. Soon Harley finds that as shattered as his family is, there are still more crushing surprises in store. “In Harley, O’Dell has created a hero who’s heartbreakingly believable; like Holden Caulfield, he uses caustic humor to hide his pain. Readers will care very much about him and his future, if indeed he has one.”—St. Petersburg Times
