(2) YA In this fast-paced Australian import, teenage tough guys Cameron and Ruben Wolfe are offered a chance to fight on the underground boxing circuit. Cam's brawny first-person narrative captures the physical rigors of the boxing ring as well as the emotional turmoil of the troubled Wolfe family. The earthy characterizations, volatile family dynamics, and sports theme make this a match for Chris Lynch's Shadow Boxer.
