Shadow of a Doubt by S. L. Rottman (1-56145-291-2)
Shadow’s brother, Daniel, ran away from home seven years ago and has never contacted the family again. But his leaving has impacted Shadow and his parents deeply. What will happen when Daniel re-enters their lives?
A great character-driven book for boys featuring a kid who turns to forensics rather than sports, making it pretty unique. Shadow is a vividly rendered protagonist that everyone will relate to.
