(2) YA Charlie Law lives in Little Town, a place with a strict Regime and an antagonistic relationship with bordering Old Country. Nobody leaves Little Town, and nobody leaves Old Country--until one day the Duda family arrives as refugees. This dense, dark novel is lightened up at times with teen-boy asides. Conaghan's dystopia, with its contemporary-world parallels, is all too easy to envision today.
