OLDER FICTION
Arnold, David

Kids of Appetite

(2) YA Vic, a Moebius syndrome–sufferer grieving his deceased father, and orphan Mad, whose abusive uncle was murdered, are being interrogated by the police. Earlier, Mad's crew--Congolese-refugee brothers Baz and Zuz and sassy eleven-year-old Coco--helped Vic scatter Dad's ashes. Arnold's prose is sharp and observant, his pacing restrained, revealing characters' backstories gradually while setting up a murder investigation that keeps readers guessing.
