I just wished that things moved along a little more quickly. The expressions are terrific, though, and the dialogue authentic. It’s all sepia monochrome, which looks good on screen, but requires a bit more focus (and a good light source) when trying to read in print. It took a little for me to get used to the art, as well.
Most of the plot in this book revolves around someone getting beaten up, and then the question of whether he’s going to tell the authorities. This is a slow burn, as the boys posture and threaten and circle each other. (They’re the two on the cover.) Spencer is the local tough guy, who hassles Courtland because he won’t kowtow to him. Courtland is newer at school he lives with his brother Harvey, and there are rumors of some serious trouble in his past. He’s a wisecracker, always with the smart remark, and dating Amilah. I was glad to meet these characters, but I found the book not quite as satisfying as I had hoped, for two reasons: The romantic promise of the series is barely established by the end of the book, and many of the incidents will be familiar to readers of teen stories. The first storyline has been collected by Soaring Penguin Press, which is how I was introduced to the series. (check shipping as there's an extra book in here!)
