The Round House: A Novel

The story takes place from the point of view of a 14 year old boy, Joe, and it should maybe be labeled as teen fiction as there are, within the book, some things that other teenage boys will relate to.

The book starts with a crime having been committed against his mother, yet she is silent and won't talk about it - even to the police. So Joe sets out, with his friends, to solve the crime and restore his mother to her previous motherly position.

The crime takes place on an Indian Reservation and the book is as much about their way of life as it is about solving the crime.

Not my favorite book, it was a little slow in places as Joe falsely accuses one person and investigates other possibilities.
