I desperately want to give this book 4 stars, but I can't. It pisses me off when a book advances the cause of one minority at the expense of another. In this book, it's more unnecessary than usual. Why Brian Katcher felt the need to inject his story with racism I will probably never know, but I just can't bring myself to recommend a book to a teen when it includes this passage:
