(3) YA Dawe's uncensored portrait of a Maori boy attending a New Zealand boarding school is riveting in its honesty and more disturbing than The Chocolate War. Te Arepa is open to new experiences, hardworking, sexually active, and by turns willing to comply with bullies to survive and unwilling to sacrifice his identity. The world he navigates is racist, cruel, and unjust; no one survives unscathed.
