Dugie is instrumental in helping Jonas adapt to his new school. Jonas has had a challenging life. His father is abusive, and they rarely agree on anything, which contributes to his rebellious nature and selling drugs. Jonas gets a girlfriend, Susie, who helps him get clients for his drugs. Things are going well until the event with Larry Steiner. Jonas is banished from town, and he has to leave his mother for a year. He is sent to Lafayette, a school established to help the needy. To find out how Jonas navigates life, coping with losses, and his experiences in Lafayette where life is hard, dive into Scorched by Don Silver.
Scorched by Don Silver is one of the most thought-provoking books I have ever read. This wonderfully written work got me thinking about many social issues, especially how the environment affects behavior and outcomes. The narration is excellent, and I loved the well-crafted dialogue that brought the story and characters to life. Silver also ensured events and emotions were vividly captured, helping the reader create a mental picture of what was happening. The plot flows flawlessly, leaving no room for confusion, and the reader will also appreciate the easy-to-understand language used, which makes it accessible to all readers. I am looking forward to reading something else by this talented author.
