War Brothers by Sharon E. McKay
Jacob is a 14-year-old Ugandan who is sent away to a boys' school. Once
there, he assures his friend Tony that they need not be afraid -- they
will be safe. But not long after, in the shadow of the night, the boys
are abducted. Marched into the jungle, they are brought to an encampment
of the feared rebel soldiers. They are told they must kill or be
killed, and their world turns into a terrifying struggle to endure and
survive. In time, the boys escape. Hunted by the rebels, stalked by a
lion, and even pursued by river crocs, they miraculously succeed in
reaching safety. However, it is no longer enough. Jacob wrestles with
the question of whether we are all really beasts inside. He decides the
way through the pain is to record his story.
Winger by Andrew Smith
Two years younger than his classmates at a prestigious boarding school,

just a kid, and playing wing on the Varsity rugby team with some of his
frightening new dorm-mates.
Arson by Estevan Vega
Arson Gable feels like a freak. He can create fire. He never asked for it. He never wanted it. But he can't shut it off. Before now, three things were true: he both loved and despised his grandmother; his life was going nowhere; and he was alone. But when a strange girl-who feels more normal behind a mask than inside her own skin-moves in next door, Arson hopes to find something he's never had: purpose. Using what he fears most about himself, Arson must face his consuming past and confront the nightmare that is his present as he walks the fine line between boy and monster.
