“In Facing the Green Monster, K.Z. Birgel has brought readers a brave and noble character in Noah West, the kind of boy who’s not afraid to delve head first (literally) into such issues as the far-reaching effects of war, the often troubling lives of bullies, friendship, and forgiveness. Students, parents, and teachers will appreciate this honest look at the complexities of a parent’s deployment and the daily trials of an American boy becoming a teen. “Facing the Green Monster is an inspiring story that will captivate readers from the very first page with interesting characters, magical encounters, and the quirkiness of one Vermont city, where it seems just about anything is possible.” —Rita Murphy, YA author of Night Flying “Facing the Green Monster takes on important issues of the day—the problem of bullies, the Iraq war—as well as the stuff that always matters to kids, like making friends, dealing with siblings, and learning how to be brave in the face of adversity. Military dependents will especially appreciate a story that puts their worries front and center.” —Frances O'Roark Dowell, author of Dovey Coe, 2001 Edgar Award Winner
