Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Kenny Williams wants out of Comfort, Texas–away from his abusive, workaholic mother, his ex-convict father, and his small-town life. This gritty story of poetry slams, country music, and small town conflicts coils in a tangle of tragedy and hope.

Review:

'\"Dean has superbly woven poets and poetry into the teen\'s story. Outstanding writing, strong characterization and plot development, and good background information make this title rise above many other recent genre entries.\" — School Library Journal, starred'
