Produktinformationen zu „Mick / The Blue-Eyed Son Trilogy (ePub)“
Does being loyal make you a hero or a coward?Fifteen-year-old, Irish-American Mick lives in the heavily segregated streets of Boston, where loyalty is paramount and straying from your roots is dangerous. After taking part in a racist attack during a crowded Saint Patrick's Day parade, Mick, who is caught on a TV camera, is considered a hero by his alcoholic older brother and the barflys from his neighborhood pub. But his school becomes a battlefield when Mick becomes the target of every group that has ever wanted to get a fist on him. As Mick becomes more aware of the humanity behind color lines, he realizes that tormenting people for nothing more than the color of their skin is just plain wrong-but separating himself from his roots will be Mick's biggest fight yet. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Chris Lynch including rare images from the author's personal collection.

Pressezitat
“A powerful, thought-provoking and disturbing trilogy.” —Publishers Weekly “With realistic street language and an in-your-face writing style that complements the plot, Lynch immerses readers in Mick’s world of alcohol, racism, and dysfunction, out of which emerges a noble anti-hero who risks physical danger and alienation for the sake of doing what is right.” —School Library Journal
