A suspenseful incident in a forbidden preserve heightens the senses of five friends. But furious battles confront the boys as they try to understand their sensory super powers in a race to save mankind. With light beings and mysterious strangers complicating their plight, will the boys be able to defeat the evil Druth before it’s too late?
And in the absence of even a hint of an exchange, Joaquin spun around and lunged at Ross. He grabbed him by the throat, knocking him down.
With brittle leaves and debris thrust upward, the two were enveloped in a dark, hazy hell as they engaged in a violent struggle for what seemed like an eternity.
Ross flared up. “Get the hell off of me!”
Joaquin persisted. “What are you going to do, Ross? Where are you going to go?”
Ross scrambled to his feet, fighting back with a blow to Joaquin’s head, followed by several body punches. Joaquin stumbled and fell, giving Ross those precious few seconds required for his escape.
Fueled by a rush of pulsating adrenaline, Ross ran frantically, stretching his quivering legs. His rich brown skin tightened as he pounded through the forest. He tried to ignore his thunderous heartbeat while scanning the pathways, searching for possible escape routes.
With his baseball cap lost to the wind, his short, curly hair had exposed to the open air. Ross grasped the moment, one littered with deep panic and a singular appreciation for survival.
This turn of events stemmed from countless episodes in which Joaquin, only nineteen yet extremely demanding, had tried to control those around him.
my review...
The Urban Boys was not what I expected. While I knew the genre
was adventure and slated for tweenage to YA readers, it turned out to be more
than I thought it would.
This isn’t just a story about good versus evil and young
boys working together to save the lives of many. This is a book about
relationships, growing up, and making changes. And as I read all this, I found
it hard to take a break no matter what chores needed to be done. The
characters, especially the 5 best friends, are so well developed you can see
them, wish you were a part of their crowd. But only a part of them until the
tough times come. Just a part of the group until it looks as if all will be
gone.
This looks to be K.N. Smith’s first YA book. It sure seems
as if it would make a good series.
