Book Description

Publication Date: November 18, 2009

One bullet has changed everything for fifteen-year old Will Karras. It’s killed his father and forced him and his mother to move from their suburban Rochester home in Upstate New York to a new one – on the grounds of a cemetery. His mother’s addictions and a bully set on destroying him are proving to be too much for Will to handle. But among the snowy gravestones in his new backyard, Will meets a mysterious stranger who knows the secrets of his past, and more importantly, holds the keys to his future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Isaac's Will is Durso's Genius, December 29, 2009

This review is from: Isaac's Will (Paperback)

"Isaac's Will" is a great novel best suited for the teenage boy that is still searching for his "type" of book. Durso obviously understands today's teenager and the sad reality that he or she often calls home. The book captures the reader on the first page and never let's go. The author masterfully weaves humor, symbolism, and fatherly wisdom throughout, the cleverly titled, "Isaac's Will." It is a great story, and I hope there is more to come from this truly talented and creative author.
As an educator, father, and reluctant reader, I highly recommend this novel. It is a quick and engaging read.

This review is from: Isaac's Will (Paperback)

Kris Durso has written a novel that will not only appeal to young adults, but also their parents. It's grounded in the popular culture of our times and portrays a world that teenagers will immediately identify as their own. But there's more than that; his characters are ones about whom you come to care deeply. It's not a regional work (its appeal is not limited by geography), but readers from western New York will recognize some of the settings.
