Black Swan Green

This was another story that was told from a British teen's perspective, this time a boy during the Cold War era. Loved this story! It was a good portrayal (must have been semi-autobiographical) of the torments children experience while growing up, the triumphs, dares, etc. It was really interesting to get the male point of view on growing up. The dynamics of groups of boys is very different from groups of girls. Glad I was able to get the insight into the world of boys. Ha.
Woven into the story is also the gradual decline of the marriage of the main character's parents. He was almost as blindsided as I was when I was told MY parents were getting divorced, yet looking back, you have to say for yourself "how DEEP in denial were you!?"

Cute story, I would probably read this one again.
