Three Songs for Courage

(4) YA In the summer of 1956, sixteen-year-old Gordon and his gang cruise around town, commune with wise "Injun Joely," and try to avoid rival gang the Sultans. After the Sultans' leader kills Gordon's brother, the action finally heats up. The narrative's shifting perspectives can be confusing and the small-town Canadian setting takes precedence over plot, but the well-drawn characters will keep readers turning pages.
