(4) YA After being involved in numerous violent incidents, Hamish Graham, ruthless and precocious, is transferred to the Manukau New Horizons Boys' Home. Through shifting narration (an omniscient narrator plus Hamish's journal entries), the novel conveys the struggles of those working with Hamish as well as his attempts to articulate and justify his behavior. Hamish's voice, while disturbing and memorable, isn't always believable.
