In the Path of Falling Objects (Square Fish)
In the Path of Falling Objects (Square Fish) | Andrew Smith
3 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
Jonah and his younger brother, Simon, are on their own. All they have left in the world is ten dollars, a backpack full of dirty clothes, and a stack of letters from their older brother, who's fighting in the war. They're on their way to Arizona when they catch a ride from a couple. The girl is friendly and beautiful. But the man is different, maybe dangerous, maybe "deadly." It's a good thing Jonah and Simon packed one more thing in their bag . . . a gun."

Unbearably tense story about two brothers, Jonah, 16, and Simon, 14, who have left home for Arizona where they hope they will be reunited with their older brother, Matt, who has been fighting in the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, they get picked up by Mitch and Lilly and things start to go horribly wrong. I really liked the main characters and their predicament was nail biting.

I really enjoyed this, but it‘s on the darker side of YA: abuse, beatings, sociopathic behavior, sex, and several cold-blooded murders. Very gripping, though! This is my first book by Smith, but I plan to read more.

I think I'm going to do a rereadathon this summer of all Smith's books-starting with the first one I read, In The Path of Falling Objects.
