America - Frank, E R

. .

Résumé :
For eighteen gritty years, a boy dodges the cracks in system in this piercing, unforgettable novel” (Booklist) from E.R. Frank that Kirkus Reviews deemed a work of sublime humanity.”

America is mistaken for black, Asian, Native American, even white. He doesn't seem to fit in anywhere, and, parentless, he is shunted for eighteen years from a foster home, to the street, and ultimately to the brink of despair. Can one doctor pull him back and bring America somewhere new—somewhere with a future?

America was named a New York Times Notable Book of the Year and a YALSA Best Book for Young Adults and has received numerous other honors, and E.L. Frank's extensive experience as a clinical social worker and therapist is why the author's ability to capture so much emotion in the details makes this book remarkable” (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
