 Author: Jake Vander Ark

 ------------------------------------

 This book is well written and has very interesting concepts.  It is told from the point of view of the 12-year-old protagonist, yet still poses questions about love and lust, good and evil, responsibility, hope, and what it means to be family.  The author has a great vocabulary and an amazing ability to paint with words in order to show the reader his story.  

Mini-spoilers:
Not for the squeamish or the easily offended, and not for children.  Some of the bullying that occurs is violent and there are some bloody scenes.
