Vera Brook asked Dave Schaafsma:

Hi, David. Thanks for accepting my friend request. I enjoy your reviews. Could you recommend YA books in the vein of The Chocolate War and Bruiser? So a boy's POV and dealing with similar issues. (By the way, The Crossing was checked out at my library. But I will hunt it down or get my own copy.)

Dave Schaafsma sorry for the delay, just saw this. Had intended to make a list. Mexican White Boy is a baseball book, great baseball scenes. Gary Schmidt's books Okay for Now, Orbiting Jupiter are middle school books for boys...
