INTERMEDIATE FICTION
de Guzman, Michael

Finding Stinko

(2) 4-6 At nine, foster child Newboy inexplicably lost his voice. Now twelve, he escapes from his foster home. Newboy finds Stinko, a beat-up ventriloquist's dummy, and discovers that he can make Stinko talk. With a quirky, matter-of-fact voice and a lightning-quick pace, the story delivers pure page-turning action. De Guzman unapologetically portrays life as dangerous, always made better with partners in crime.
