"Gorgeous and gripping, Hands is a poetic page-turner. You might just finish it in one sitting. Torrey Maldonado understands the kids he writes for at the deepest level.β βAdam Gidwitz, Newbery Honorβwinning author of The Inquisitorβs Tale
The author of What Lane? and Tight delivers a fast-paced read that packs a punch about a boy figuring out how to best use his handsβto build or to knock down.
Trev would do anything to protect his mom and sisters, especially from his stepdad. But his stepdadβs return stresses Trevβbecause when he left, he threatened Trevβs mom. Rather than live scared, Trev takes matters into his own hands, literally. He starts learning to box to handle his stepdad. But everyone isnβt a fan of his plan, because Trevβs a talented artist, and his hands could actually help him build a better future. And theyβre letting him know. But their advice for some distant future feels useless in his reality right now. Ultimately, Trev knows his future is in his hands, and his hands are his own, and he has to choose how to use them.
