A review by roaringmamalion
The Boxer and the Spy by Robert B. Parker

2.0

Honestly, I'm confused. This is marketed as a book for "younger readers," and the quality of the plot and the vocabulary verifies that. But the talk of sex (including a butterfly tattoo on someone's rear end) makes this much more appropriate for high school and above. Perhaps this would work as a "high-low" book for lower skilled readers in high school classes. Ultimately, this book is a "pass," and I'll need to remove it from my middle school classroom.
