"A novel in verse and spare prose told from the different points of view of two BriBri- American brothers who are about to graduate high school. After they perpetrate an act of violence against a fellow student they believe is harming someone close to them, they are forced to truly face their demons. Their differing responses to family trauma and personal strife cause them to drift apart when one turns to art and romance and an escape plan as the other seeks comfort in home and family. This was a fast read, compelling, emotional, and gorgeously written." --Sharon McKellar, Teen Services
