(2) YA Themes, symbols, people, and places will all be familiar to Cormier fans, yet the effect is fresh and newly intense in this story, told in blank verse, of a summer in which a young boy comes to understand his silent and withdrawn father. Warm and poignant, the story is also a dark and ambivalent drama as the boy finds proof (perhaps) of something he must never reveal about his beloved uncle.
