Get REICHOLD STREET, the Award-Winning Young Adult Novel Everyone's Talking About!
Set in a working-class American neighborhood in the turbulent 1960s Vietnam War era, REICHOLD STREET, by author R.L. Herron, deals with some of life's tough issues: alcoholism, bullying, family dysfunction, suicide, murder and the horrors of wartime Vietnam. In a story masterfully written in the manner of J.D. Salinger (Catcher in the Rye), William Golding (Lord of the Flies) and Stephen King (The Body), this 2012 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal novel takes you all the way from first introductions to the searing tragedy, yet remarkable redemption of war. Albert Parker is the new kid in the neighborhood. He brings with him the emotional scars of early parental loss and all the aggressive attitude a dysfunctional and abusive stepfather can create. His struggle to fit in, and the story of the people around him as he tries, creates a powerful tale about friendship, war, love and loss. The neighborhood where young boys routinely play baseball in the street becomes an intriguing coming-of-age story. It's also a place where they discover the sometimes-violent realities of life. Kirkus Reviews called the book Skillfully written and emotionally charged. Kirkus Reviews
