Caleb Watson is not like the other children at his Washington, D.C., private school. Having skipped a grade—and being younger and smaller than the rest of the boys—he finds that his Southern accent and sensitive, reserved nature set him even further apart. Caleb simply does not belong.
But on a field trip to the art museum, Caleb discovers his hero—his icon—when he is exposed to the art of Andy Warhol. In the beauty of the things that don't fit, in the art and philosophy of Pop plus the glorious camp of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and its creatures of the night, Caleb will find sanctuary, transforming himself and the eccentric friends he meets along the way into his own little version of Warhol's Factory.

Critical Praise for
Pop Salvation
"POP SALVATION is a genius take on discovering who you are by becoming what you most admire. If I didn’t know better, I’d think Lance Reynald watched me grow up. Marvelously endearing and insightful."

Josh Kilmer-Purcell, author of CANDY EVERYBODY WANTS and I AM NOT MYSELF THESE DAYS
"Lance Reynald’s seductively nuanced portrait of a pop-infatuated Holden Caulfield is as vivid and inspired as a Warhol painting—and every bit as compelling."
—
Steve Kluger, author of Almost Like Being in Love
"Pop Salvation is full of mirrors that reflect the struggle between personality and persona, between the peepers and those being peeped, with a fresh breeze of dark humor rushing through. Remarkable."
