12yo Trev was there the night his stepdad hit his mom. Now step is about to get out of jail and Trev wants to do whatever he can to protect his mom. Hands that can draw beautiful pictures can also be used for violence. Trev feels confused and adrift - not knowing who actually has his back or which path to choose. He only has a short time to make that choice.
A short powerful book - a good choice to have for those boys who hate reading, because it is small enough that they’ll be willing to read it, and hopefully the message will sink in.
