(2) YA Ten short stories feature boys whose distinctive voices attest to both the variety of their backgrounds and their individuality as characters. In two of the strongest entries, teenage protagonists get a look at war through the eyes of new recruits--one going off to World War II and one returning from Vietnam. Salisbury's Hawaiian settings are lovingly described, and he realistically captures the feelings--both universal and unique--of his island boys.
