(3) YA In this spare novel in verse set in 1965, six young people share dramatic, personal issues that intersect with each other. News reports on events such as the escalating war in Vietnam and the death of Malcolm X are interspersed. Parts of the text are so immediate and intense that they very effectively capture both the details and scope of the times. Timeline.
