Coaltown Jesus

by Ron Koertge
Hennepin County Library hardcover 122 pages
genre: YA prose poetry, realistic fiction

Walker's brother Noah is dead and neither Walker nor his mother have really come to terms with it. When Walker cries out a prayer, Jesus shows up and talks with him. This Jesus is much more earthy than Walker anticipates, but their conversations and interactions effect change in Walker's life.

This is a super quick read (122 pages of prose poetry!) yet there is a lot going on. Still contemplating a purchase of it for PRMS.
