Okay for Now
by Gary D. Schmidt
A coming of age story about a young boy named Doug Swieteck. He moves with his family from New York City to "stupid Marysville". He is faced with many obstacles from an abusive father to his brother who comes home from the Vietnam War after getting injured. He finds in the library a book with these amazing drawings of birds. The librarian starts teaching him about art and through the drawings learns a lot about life. There is humor, drama, and parts that will make you shriek "like an insane woman who has been locked in an attic for a great many years".
