Meet the teenage mafia planner with a price on his head who is trying to do the right thing.
Our tale begins with our hero literally being stabbed in the back by his best friend. From there, his life spirals downhill. Alex Turner finds himself on the run from the South Philly Crew, which his father had been a member of, and a group of pissed-off Russians.
With a hit out on both his father and him, his father must go into hiding, leaving Alex to fend for himself. Alex is fourteen and alone, so he has no choice but to trust the FBI to keep him safe. Their solution is to move him to Conclave, Oklahoma, a small town in the middle of nowhere. That’s where the real trouble starts.
From the author of A Stupid Boy and My Starbound by Magic.
Fun young adult read about a smart kid but definitely not Science Fiction or Fantasy. I guess the Moondust title threw off AMAZON as it came on their Sci Fi and Fantasy news letter. Not sure how they they determine what fits in a category maybe a bot or AI. In any case, it was not a bad read and the author knows to communicate teenage experience enjoyably with a plot that is interesting and moves along quickly.
