| |  | | | In Brief
"Newton's novel introduces us to Neal Sloan, the teenaged son of a Baptist minister. Neal's behavior is constantly scrutinized by members of his small Southern community. His father's insistence on proper conduct in public and the family's fish bowl existence take a terrible toll on the Sloans. Oldersister Aileen rebells by neglecting her studies and dating a boy whom her parents dislike. Seven-year-old Georgie retreats into a fantasy world as he tries to make sense of his father's disapproval. Neal himself conceals his enthusiasm and talent for jazz piano from everyone in order to have something that is his alone. . . . Grades seven to twelve." (Voice Youth Advocates)
| | | | Annotation
Because the Baptist minister's children in a small North Carolina town have difficulty conforming to the roles their father wishes them to play for public consumption, fifteen-year-old Neal feels he must hide his consuming interest in jazz music.
