(2) YA In this stand-alone story set in 1968, bad-boy Doug Swieteck (The Wednesday Wars) moves upstate with his family after his father's temper gets him fired. What "boring" Marysville, New York, offers Doug is something unexpected: kindness and a future. Captivated by a book of Audubon bird prints, he discovers a talent for art. Doug's story emerges through the character's distinctive voice.
