Home after dark

Home after dark / David Small, 399 pgs.

Russell's mom runs off with his dad's best friend.  Then he and his dad move from Ohio to California.  He is tossed in with a new crowd and is trying to find his way.  He and his dad rent a room from the Mahs then move to their own place.  Russell makes some friends but is a little wary of all of them, especially bully Kurt.  Then his hard drinking dad leaves.  A teen on his own with no money, he ends up back with the Mahs. Russell has it pretty tough but Small's art makes this an interesting but dark story.
