INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Martinez, Agnes

Poe Park

(4) 4-6 Over the course of one summer, Enoch Morales loses his best friend in an accidental shooting, attends a community day camp, and worries about his half-brother, who arrives from Puerto Rico and begins hanging out with a gang. Set in the Bronx, the simply written novel becomes bogged down with too many issues--not all of which are satisfactorily resolved.
