The House of Tomorrow


The House of Tomorrow by Peter Bognanni is a story about Sebastian Prendergast; a boy who lives in a glass dome with his eccentric grandmother who he calls Nana. Nana kept Sebastian quite separated from the outside world because she wanted him to help fulfill the visions of the futuristic philisopher R. Buckminister Fuller. But, after Nana falls ill he finds himself pulled into the lives of the Whitcomb family which consists of a overstressed mother named Janice, a son named Jared who just recently had his heart replaced and a daughter named Meredith who has slightly whorish tendencies.

This book is a great read. If you’re looking for humorous book that has a lot of heart then this is the book for you. The characters are so well developed that by the end you can’t help but feel personally connected to them all. I especially love Jared Whitcomb; he is the most blunt and unintentionally funny character I have ever encountered in a book.

All I can say is; if you read it, you’ll love it.
