(1) YA In this Australian import, Jasper Jones, town outcast, leads thirteen-year-old Charlie to a murder scene. Convinced of Jasper's innocence, Charlie helps him hide the body and find the killer. As secrets come out, the characters make difficult choices in the satisfying resolution to this gothic-flavored coming-of-age tale. The mood and atmosphere of the 1960s small-town Australian setting is perfectly realized.
