[Young Adult Fiction (Ages 12-17)]
After fourteen-year-old Clarence lost his mother to a stray bullet four years ago, his father has since abdicated all pretense of parenthood and allowed his buddy to press Clarence into service as a drug runner. In his wanderings through his frightening urban neighborhood, Clarence encounters Mona, a huge Great Dane with whom he develops a deep bond. After witnessing a horrific dogfighting event, Clarence vows to live up to his mother's expectations, finding help from the kindly Bangladeshi immigrant who runs the local convenience store, from his plucky English teacher, and from his imagined interactions with Mona the dog. A novel about hope and self-reliance in the face of grave danger, Wirewalker is a masterfully written debut.
