The lost Tribes of the Alleghenies is a darkly comic coming of age novel that takes place in that part of Pennsylvania memorably described as Philadelphia and Pittsburgh with Alabama in between. Lost tribes take place during a 1970s spring, between the final taping of the Scholastic Quiz championship, when Geoff, a high school junior and captain of the team, blow the final questions, and the public broadcast ten days later, which he will become a public laughing stock. As if it isn't bad enough being a member of a small Jewish community in a Pennsylvania mill town where his mother is the rabbi's secretary and knows everyone's business, Geoff has to deal with an elderly long-lost cousin who's full of secrets, and older sister who's full of wisdom and wisecracks, and an irate school board president with a son who's eager to replace Geoff as Quiz Team captain. Set in a time when drugs were readily available, sex wasn't too dangerous and bookstores were either independent or at the mall, Lost Tribes should appeal to freaks, geeks or anyone who spent their high school years feeling lost in the wilderness.
