(2) YA Thirteen-year-old “Stick” was born with only one ear and secretly sadistic parents; for the slightest infraction, Stick’s father will beat him and his older brother Bosten. After Dad finds out Bosten is gay, both boys, separately, run away. The violence of the story is intense, but so is the deep loyalty between the brothers.
