Summary
Fifteen-year-old Ian decides to work at "The Club" for his community service - but it turns out to be a soup kitchen in a bad part of town, and he is nearly mugged going there. He's saved by a pipe-wielding… homeless man, a former soldier named Jacques who was stationed in Rwanda. Can Ian help Jacques, a man who has lost everything but his nightmarish memories? Some descriptions of violence. For senior high readers. Winner of the 2007 White Pine Award. 2006.
