Under the Wolf, Under the Dog
By Adam Rapp
A brutal story of escape and desire for redemption.
Steve Nugent is in a facility called Burnstone Grove. It's a place for kids who are addicts, like Shannon Lynch, who can stick $1.87 in change up his nose, or for kids who have tried to commit suicide, like Silent Starla, who Steve is getting a crush on. But Steve doesn't really fit in either group. He used to go to a gifted school. So why is he being held at Burnstone Grove? Keeping a journal, in which he recalls his confused and violent past, Steve is left to figure out who he is by examining who he was.
- "Steve Nugent is a character as distinctive and disturbing as Salinger's Holden Caulfield was 50 years ago." Booklist, starred review.
