Scowler






Kraus, D. (2014). Scowler. New York, NY: Ember.

Ryan Burke, a nineteen year old boy, grew up on a farm in Iowa with his "monster" called dad. As his dad's violence grew, Ryan didn't know what else to do. One morning everything changed. His father approached him and told him not to worry or bother his mother because she was sick. Ryan started to wonder is this was more than just another beating. He runs away for 36 hours and in many ways, and he was never the same. Marvin went to jail and Jo Beth was able to pursue her own interest in sewing. However, there was an explosion at the high security jail and he got out. Ry has to get rid of his childhood toys, but he actually needs them to work through his pain and torture.
