Herrick, Steven , Cold Skin, 279 p. Front Street 2007.
Language: PG13 (15+ swears), Sexual Content: PG13, Violence: PG13.
MS-OPTIONAL, HS-ADVISABLE
Life for Eddie in a post-war, Australian mining town seems a bit mundane, but it turns out to be anything but dull when a murder occurs one night. Eddie learns the lessons of love, cowardice and forgiveness through the eyes of his own family and the people he associates with daily.
Author Steven Herrick tells this mystery in free verse with the alternating view points of the townspeople. A fairly quick read, this format could be adapted easily for a very interesting reader’s theater.
