Junebug in Trouble

135 pp. | Farrar | March, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-374-33969-4 $$16.00
(2) 4-6 Junebug and his family have left their tough New Haven neighborhood behind, but trouble follows as Junebug tries to stay friends with Robert, who's increasingly tempted by gang life. The themes are predominantly serious, but there is warmth in the relationships, humor in the dialogue, and complete simplicity in the writing style. Mead walks a delicate line between problem novel and everyday-life story, and does so with grace.
