Blue-Tailed Lizards

By Faye Couch Reeves

Blue-Tailed Lizards tells the story of a small boy who is the unwitting accomplice in his father's crimes. He is put through the doggy door of houses and taught to unlock doors for his father and uncle. But what happens to the not-so-small boy on the day he no longer fits through the doggy door? And what happens when he realizes his father is a thief and he is ashamed of the life he has been forced to lead? This story of one boy's coming to peace with where he has come from to making decisions about who he intends to be is played out against the haunting landscape of southern New Mexico. He and his misfit friends find power and safety in numbers and courage in friendship. A great read for any late elementary/mid-school reader but boys especially will find this tale of crime and salvation a captivating ride.
