(2) YA Despite their rough, though not entirely unhappy, lives, young narrator Martin and his best friend, Billy, are unwitting prey for child molester Mr. George, the organist for the summer boys' choir. Doyle tempers the grimmer aspects of his novel with a sly sense of humor and colorful characters. Set in Ottawa at the end of WWII, the novel deftly depicts a life rich in incident and a community that fails to notice the treachery in its midst.
