(2) 4-6 Jake Oliver Evans, age ten, is found guilty of manslaughter in 1885 and sentenced to five years in the Idaho Penitentiary. Pileggi's brief and powerful debut novel is based on a true story (detailed in an extensive author's note), and Jake is a likable and memorable protagonist who finds friends and hope in the worst of conditions.
