Product Information
Liam is a fourteen-year-old graffiti artist living in project housing in Minneapolis with his single mother and three younger siblings. When Liam's estranged older brother coerces him to tag a graffiti symbol for a rival gang, Liam's life is threatened. Due to his apathetic attitude in the classroom and on the baseball field, Liam's private-school scholarship is also threatened. His mother decides to send him to Lake Michigan for the summer to live with her best friend, Kat, a sculptor and art teacher, Liam soon delves into the work of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Pablo Picasso, and his own personal aesthetics. He's encouraged to consider his art seriously and how it might contribute to a greater community. Having to decide between staying with Kat and returning home to his siblings who need him, Liam's story inspires him to reinvent himself for the better.

A 14-year-old graffiti artist spends a summer away from his inner-city home. Fearful that Liam will follow his older brother into gang-influenced crime, his mother sends him from Minneapolis to a small resort town in Michigan to spend the summer with her artist friend, Kat. Liam's had a rough year, having been kicked out of the private school where he'd won a scholarship and threatened with a gun for painting graffiti over a gang sign. At first Liam dislikes Lakeshore; he even vandalizes the town beach house in a cross between artistic expression and boredom. Gradually, with Kat's help, he begins to see himself as a serious artist. Kat invites him to stay, but he knows that at home, his younger brother is befriending gang members. Mullen's smooth debut, written primarily in dialogue with very short chapters, often feels like a verse novel without the limitations of that form. His first-person narration is characterized by clipped, often incomplete sentences that capture his restlessness. Liam's reluctance to take chances feels authentic, given his past, and the exploration of graffiti as serious art, with links to Picasso and Basquiat, intrigues. A solid, interesting novel. - Kirkus Reviews Liam O'Malley wants to be a graffiti artist. He has been tagging his downtown Minneapolis neighborhood, but when he is caught by a rival gang, his life is threatened. Worried that Liam is following a destructive and dangerous path, his mother sends him to Lake Michigan for the summer to live with an artist friend. There Liam immerses himself in art and learns about Picasso and Basquiat, and he explores his own philosophy of art. Liam's tender, inspiring tale of the healing power of art depicts the teen attempting to discover who he is, find his place, and question his faith. Ultimately, his summer on Lake Michigan teaches him how to alter his path, help others through his art, and make a statement. Mullen doesn't take the easy way out--Liam's predicament regarding his art versus his responsibility to his family is handled in a realistic way. A strong debut about the power of art to bring reconciliation. -Booklist Online In this sensitive portrayal of a budding artist from newcomer Mullen, 14-year-old Liam O'Malley is consumed by the idea of becoming a graffiti writer. After Liam gets embroiled in a rivalry between local gangs and his grades slip, his mother sends him away from their home in the projects of Minneapolis to spend the summer with her friend Kat in tiny Lakeshore, Mich. Kat, a sculptor, provides a calm and supportive temporary home for Liam, who becomes inspired by the tranquil landscape, researches a variety of artists including Basquiat and Picasso, and begins to let go of his resentment surrounding his upbringing. Soon Liam has to decide between returning home to serve as a role model for his siblings or pursuing his dreams independently. Short chapters and clipped phrases give Liam's narrative the punchy impact of graffiti: "No sirens in two weeks. No black-and-whites driving around, either. No cops standing in stores. None walking the streets. Nothing," Liam reflects on his new environment. A powerful story about the positive effects of change. -Publishers Weekly, A 14-year-old graffiti artist spends a summer away from his inner-city home.
