pickA young adult novel in verse, with alternating POVs between a modern day teen dealing with his parents divorce and Ishmael‘s feelings as Isaac is born. Interesting take. I think this would be a help to tweens and teens dealing with a parent break up.
Grimes spins a story of two boys, Sam and Ishmael, living in different times and lands, who both struggle with their faith as they watch their families fall apart.
pick“You are captives of a civilizational system that more or less compels you to go on destroying the world in order to live.”
Wow. This book is thought provoking.
It‘s been over fifteen years since I read this book. Too long! It is relevant and it makes you dig in and think. Will be re-reading this one.
