Ooooo! Sounds action-packed and crazy, right? OK, maybe not. Maybe more angst-ridden and internal than I had hoped-for. Fitz by Mick Cochrane is not a bad story, but it was not something I would have normally picked up. It reminded me of Walter Dean Meyers' books, but I'm not entirely sure why...
If you're up for a romping good time spending the day with a boy and his dad as they visit the office, the zoo, catch lunch together, and have a jam session on the front porch, then find a different book. You'll get all of that here, but what you really need to be looking for if you want to enjoy this book is awkward conversation, embarrassment, and frustration as a boy tries to connect with his estranged dad in a way that only would make sense in a teenage boy's mind. It gets 3 out of 5 golden revolvers from me and I really hope that kid cheers up soon.
