(2) YA When Russ moves to Irish-mob-ruled Bellmont after his parents' murder, the school's basketball coach turns to team leader Finley to help him acclimate but also to convince former-phenom Russ to play ball again; since the tragedy he goes only by "Boy21" and insists he's from outer space. Authentic dialogue and deft character development ensure our emotional investment in these richly complex boys.
