Island Boyz—Graham Salisbury

Search in York County Library System

"Salisbury’s love for Hawaii and its encircling sea shines through every story in this rich collection. Readers will share the rush a boy feels when he leaps off a cliff into a ravine or feasts his eyes on a beautiful woman. They’ll find stories that show what it takes to survive prep school, or a hurricane, or the night shift at Taco Bell, or first love. Graham Salisbury knows better than anyone what makes an island boy take chances, or how it feels to test the waters, to test the limits, and what it’s like when a beloved older brother comes home from war, never to be the same."
