Trial by Fire
Winner of the Canadian Children's Book Centre Choice: Best Books for Kids & Teens
Seventeen year-old Nathan is running - running from his past and running from his present. Raised by a white mother and never having known his native father, he must cope with prejudice and stereotypes. When he meets Sally, the beautiful outsider, he finds someone who believes in him. But when Sally's house is put to the torch by an arsonist, suspicion falls on Nathan and he finds himself embroiled in an intrigue and murder that threaten to drive the two teenagers apart.
