Read American Boy; a nice coming of age story. A historical fiction set in 1962. The premise is how he and the town reacts after a woman is shot on Thanksgiving Day. A lot different than the cozy town of Radiator Springs.

This was the book that I read while Stalking the Pulitzer, for college class, back in 2012, the year there was no winner, but it turns out this is more a YA book than an actual contender, though it made it on some short lists.
This is set in small town southwestern Minnesota in the early 1960s. It follows 16-year-old best friends Matt and Johnny. Johnny's dad is a doctor and Matt gets hung up on 21-year-old Louisa, one of his patients. And from there, the story begins with events that will change Matt and Johnny's friendship forever. As always, Watson does a great job capturing the time and place and his characters are pretty authentic. A good solid read.
