Red Moon
Hamish is sensible, conscientious, and respectable, friends with the good boys, stays away from the bad ones. When his father is murdered in an act of random violence, Hamish’s world turns upside down. Angry and alienated, Hamish begins to lose his tolerant beliefs and is drawn towards racist reactions. A move to France promises a much needed new beginning, but only builds Hamish’s new attitudes as he becomes embroiled in the narrow-minded views of the locals.

As YA books go, this one wasn't too bad. There was no real complexity to the plot, but it told the story of the plight of an asylum seeker in a plain and clear way. I do think that if this is what YA can do in order to help young people understand the reality of the world, and perhaps get them to question their adopted prejudices or beliefs, then it is a very good thing.

A story about 2 boys with different life events whose worlds collide in a French coastal town. One who is helpless without the others help. A moving story of how young people can make a difference if they take the indicative, but maybe not always in the 'best' way.

Interesting story focusing on immigration, but didnt catch my attention all that well. Will definitely not be re-reading it.
