In Beyond Repair (Orca, 2011), young Cam decides to stalk the man who killed his father with a pickup truck, when the killer starts showing up at Cam's house, his work and his sister's school. Silver Rain (Orca, 2010) is the story of eleven-year-old Elsie, who is abandoned by her father during the Depression and lives in the garage behind her old house with her grandmother. While he waits to be claimed by a father he barely remembers, Kevin imagines a better life as a tough cowboy named Knuckles McGraw who rides a horse named Burlington Northern. In The Ballad or Knuckles McGraw (Orca $7.95) by retired Surrey librarian Lois Peterson, an eight-year-old named Kevin, abandoned by his mother, who left him a good-bye note in his lunch bucket, takes comfort for his fantasy of becoming a cowboy to counteract the shock of living in a foster home with a pierced and tattooed teenager named Ice and a mute girl named Breezy.
