"A remarkably sympathetic portrait of 16-year-old Thulani, who came to Brooklyn from Jamaica with his mother and brother, and aids a rape victim," wrote PW in a starred review. "With its layered yet understated language, and complex yet truthful characterizations, this novel will hold the rapt attention of sophisticated readers." Ages 14-up. (May)
