Markus Zusak's first book is a brilliant tale of the Wolfe family. Narrator Cameron and his older brother Ruben take up boxing in an underground racket, and while Cameron is not a great boxer, he has heart. By the conclusion of the novel, Cameron has proven to everyone that he is just as much a Wolfe as his undefeated brother. And Ruben has discovered that there's something to fighting more than just winning.This book is the most realistic tale of brotherhood I have ever read. Zusak shows what it truly means to be family, to be wolves, to be brothers.
