(3) YA Translated by Wanda J. Boeke. It's been three months since Mone was conscripted, and ten-year-old Bing misses his big brother terribly. To make Mone proud, Bing begs soccer star Dani to train him. But Dani refuses--despite the dirt Bing has on him. The 1930s Belgium setting and certain backstory details are subtly conveyed, possibly eluding readers, but Moeyaert's themes and shocking conclusion are intense and haunting.
