One Man Guy by Michael Barakiva

[bi_janus]

Young adult fiction about a 14-year-old who is attracted to a slightly older boy from across the tracks, literally. A quick read that deals with issues of parental authority and the conflict between what others think is right and what you know is right. The book deals with Armenian culture, food, and family in an engaging way. A quick read, but a nice first novel by a screenwriter.

I agree, it looks like a terrific book.
