(2) YA As a child Charlie Porter was paraded around by his exploitive father as the "World's Youngest Published Author" of the Beetle Boy series. Now eighteen, he suffers from brutal nightmares. Throughout, Charlie convincingly wrestles with anger, guilt (for leaving his little brother behind), and gratitude toward the crotchety old children's book author, Mrs. M., who helped him. Willey crafts a delicate psychological landscape.
