OLDER FICTION
Sedgwick, Marcus

Saint Death

(2) YA Sedgwick offers a timely look at teens across the border in his Doctor Faustus–inspired novel about former best friends forced to help each other when one is in debt to a Mexican gangster. Though the use of Spanish punctuation in English sentences might distract some readers, Saint Death presents a compelling interior story of resilience, poverty, loyalty, and the value of life.
