This book is up for the California Young Readers Medal. I can see why. Levi's older brother enlisted about three years ago into the Marines. Now his brother has come home but basically holes himself in his old bedroom. Levi can hear him at night. The whole family does what they can to connect with Boaz. Read the book, it's good. Dana Reinhardt captures the voice of a older teen boy's perspective.
She did good.
