The Eclipse of Moonbeam Dawson

(3) YA The son of a latter-day hippie, fifteen-year-old Moonbeam moves out of his mother's shadow when he finds employment at a Canadian resort. Living on his own, the biracial teenager changes his first name to Reid, gets in touch with his Native heritage, and makes some mistakes in romance. While not big on action, the story does present a believable portrait of a boy seeking his own identity.
