Horror comes in many forms. Horror can be used to entertain, frighten, or disturb us. Horror can be far removed from us or horror can be so close that it rules our lives and disturbs our families and inner core. You are about to find out how much horror and damage a person can sustain and still remain intact. “I am dying: it’s a beautiful word. Like the long slow sigh of a cello: dying. But the sound of it is the only beautiful thing about it.” Gabriel lies slowing dying and remembers his childhood, growing up in a small town, a town that made being part of abnormal family more difficult. Around the age of nine Gabriel remembers the day he met Finnigan, a wild boy who lived in the forest, without a real home, family, or rules. A boy who wasn’t afraid to take revenge against the people who were cruel to Gabriel; a boy who didn’t care about being good; a boy who would make Gabriel regret the day they met. What will Gabriel have to do to make Finnigan surrender?Printz Honor book 2007
