We gathered up books to sell several months ago, and Charlie, my 16-year-old, said this one was really good and I should read it. I didn't.
While going through the stack one last time, we again came across this, and Charlie again said it was worth the read.
This is a surprising little YA book about prejudice. It's pretty harsh in its depictions, and while I'm not sure everything is dead on, it has some disturbing moments of truth that can apply to everyone. Briefly, Mick is a young Irish-American who has to come to terms with his feelings about others.
It's a quick read, and worth the little bit of your time it'll take to go through it.
