Sixth-grader Boy Regis lives with his family in a small Hawaiian village by the sea. Generally, life is good, but lately his older brother Damon is hanging out with a street gang. And Boy worries about the wild jungle dogs, especially in the dark early mornings when hes delivering newspapers. When Boys teacher asks his class to write about someone they look up to, boy is stumped. He doesnt see anything remarkable about the people around him. His parents are busy with work, his sister is dating someone named Slime, and Damons risking his life against a warring gang.

Award-winning author Graham Salisbury provides the perfect voice for this warm coming-of-age story. As strong family ties inspire the young hero, readers get to share his epiphany: fighting is not the only way to win a battle.
