(1) 4-6 With his brothers away at school or in the service and his father in Iraq, sixth grader Ignatius (nicknamed Brother) must help his grandparents run the family ranch. The story chronicles Brother's year of hard work, danger, worry, and pondering of his own future. Brother's honest voice conveys an emotional terrain as thoughtfully developed as Parry's evocation of the Western landscape.
