War Boy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
War Boy is the first novel by Kief Hillsbery, published in 2000 by Rob Weisbach Books. It chronicles the adventures of Radboy, a fourteen-year-old deaf skateboarder, who leaves his abusive home for San Francisco and becomes involved in (most notably) environmental politics and the underground club scene.
Principle characters include Radboy's older friend Jonnyboy, meth addict boyfriends Finn and Critter, and Swedish environmentalist Ula, who is mourning the loss of her fiance and seeking revenge for her sister's injury in a government-planted car bomb. Together the five hatch a plan to bomb the Hobart Building and kidnap Jonnyboy's boyfriend Roarke in an ill-fated attempt to save the redwoods.
