Chasing the Bear


By Robert B. Parker
(YA F Park)
169 pages 2009 Realistic fiction

Most readers know Spenser as a tough as nails private detective, working out of Boston, but how did he get that way? Turns out young Spenser was raised by his father and two uncles, who taught him how to fight and stand tough. But they also taught him when to walk away from a fight. When Spenser's friend Jeannie is kidnapped by her abusive, alcoholic father, Spenser has to decide if he will risk his life and fight to save her or walk away and save himself. The result is classic Spenser - don't miss it!
