(4) YA Surviving Southside series. Benito's life turns upside down when his father returns from Iraq suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. After Dad has a flashback in public, Benito decides to run away from the embarrassment. He doesn't get far before learning you can't flee from your problems. Though the story is unsubtle in message and tone, its topical subject matter may attract reluctant readers.
