More About This Book

Overview

A taut psychological thriller for teens

 

Seventeen-year-old Jeff thought he would never again have to deal with his older brother, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence. But after six years, Troy’s sentence has been overturned on a technicality and he is released from prison. He returns to a family deeply divided about having him back home. Jeff can’t forget how his life was disrupted by his brother, how his family had to move to another state and start over. Still, his parents believe things will be different now. But Troy’s return makes a mess of Jeff ’s life – at home, at school, and with his girlfriend. When Jeff ’s rival on the soccer field turns up missing, Jeff suspects Troy is involved, and he sets out to prove it. But nothing could prepare Jeff for what happens as he gets closer to the truth.

With unexpected flashes of humor, David Klass once again gives readers a gripping, multilayered novel about good and evil and the powerful bonds of family.

 

Dark Angel is a 2006 Bank Street - Best Children's Book of the Year.

When his older brother is released from prison, seventeen-year-old Jeff's family secret is revealed, causing upheaval in his home, school and love life.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
When Jeff's older brother-a convicted murderer-is unexpectedly pardoned from his life sentence, he comes to live with his family in a small New Jersey town. Jeff is suspicious of his brother from the beginning, even though Troy seems like "a model of rehabilitation," acting overly polite to his parents and landing a job at a local supermarket. Jeff is afraid of what will happen when word spreads, too, and does not even tell his best friend about Troy's return. But when a local golden boy goes missing after fighting with Troy, the family secret gets out. Readers will find the premise fascinating, and will empathize immediately with Jeff, whose girlfriend's father forbids her to talk to him and whose own family is being torn apart by suspicion, pain and guilt (his mother is even hospitalized). Jeff tackles a school paper on evil and human behavior, and struggles with complicated emotions towards his brother (Troy likewise admits his pain at being abandoned in prison). The family drama gives way to a true murder mystery; this plot line gains momentum and culminates in a thrilling, if predictable, final face-off. Overall, this is a dark, gripping novel, even if it leaves some questions unanswered. Ages 12-up. (Dec.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
Children's Literature
When his older brother is released from prison, Jeff's family secret is revealed, causing upheaval in his home, school and love life. After six years, Troy's sentence has been overturned on a technicality. 17-year-old Jeff thought he would never again have to deal with his brother, a convicted murderer serving a life sentence. First, Jeff's girlfriend's father keeps her away from him because of his brother. Then there is an incident with Jeff and one of the school jocks and a terrible scene with Troy getting involved. Troy takes a job with the father of Jeff's best friend, which causes a great deal of anxiety. The book keeps the reader on edge because it could go either way. It is a somewhat tragic story, yet realistic in how things can turn one's life upside down. It is a well-developed story that keeps the reader involved. This is a book for boys. The cover could be a draw for young-adult readers or it could be a turn-off. Some will want to read it because of the author's other books. 2005, Frances Foster Books/Farrar Straus and Giroux, Ages 14 to 18.

Meet the Author

David Klass is the author of many young adult novels, including Dark Angel and You Don’t Know Me. He is also a Hollywood screenwriter, having written more than twenty-five action screenplays, including Kiss the Girls, starring Morgan Freeman and Ashley Judd, Walking Tall, starring The Rock, and Desperate Measures, starring Michael Keaton and Andy Garcia. Klass grew up in a family that loved literature and theater—his parents were both college professors and writers—but he was a reluctant reader, preferring sports to books. But he started loving the adventure stories his parents would bring home from the library—particularly Jack London, Robert Louis Stevenson and Alexandre Dumas. After his sister twice won a story contest in Seventeen magazine, Klass decided he would win it too, and when he was a senior in high school, he did, publishing his first story, “Ringtoss,” in the magazine. He studied at Yale University, where he won the Veech Award for Best Imaginative Writing. He taught English in Japan, and wrote his first novel, The Atami Dragons, about that experience. He now lives in New York with his wife and two small children.

ISBN: 0374399506
From Dark Angel "My brother's coming home from prison, which is a lot farther away than any foreign country. He's been doing hard time since he was sixteen--about five and a half years. He was tried and sentenced as an adult, but some court in New York just decided he should have been tried as a minor, and other things happened at his trial that shouldn't have happened. So they're letting him out. And he has nowhere else to go, so he's coming here." She was silent for maybe ten seconds. "How long was his sentence, before they changed it?" "Life." "Life?" "Life," I said again. "And now some court of appeals is setting him free. Poof. Just like that." "Jeff, what did your brother do?" she asked. But those pretty hazel eyes were speaking much more truthfully in their language without words. "Tell me he didn't do anything awful," they were saying. "Tell me he didn't hurt anyone." The wind made a whistling sound through the pier supports, and it sounded like breath being sucked in over sharp teeth. "He killed a kid," I told her. "A boy from our old school near Buffalo. Stabbed him in the stomach with a knife. The kid's name was Billy Shea, and he went into cardiac arrest on the way to the hospital." Beth shivered.

    Victoria's Review

    Dark Angel was an outstanding book. I couldn't put it down. Dark Angel is about a 17-year-old boy named Jeff, whose brother is a convicted murderer, comes to live with them. Jeff's brother's name is Troy. From the beginning, Jeff didn't trust Troy. No one knew about Troy. All of the family pictures with Troy in them disappeared. No one even knew he existed. Jeff lost his girlfriend, Beth, because Beth's dad didn¿t want her around a murderer. Jeff lives in a small town named Pineville. No one in that small town liked the news that a convicted murderer was going to live in their town. When a kid named Tommy Fraser, the most popular guy in school, disappears, everyone points their fingers at Troy. Everything gets out of hand and it reveals a secret that no one saw coming. This book has many twist and turns and is just a really good book to read.

    Good ending

    In the book "Dark Angel" a seventeen year old boy goes through what none, if any, teenagers do not go though. His brother, Troy, a convicted murderer and fifteen years old at the time, is released from jail because he is finally judge as a minor instead of an adult. After five years in jail, Troy comes back home to live with his family. He is not accepted by the town and rumors start to flair. The mother calls her kids "angels." Jeff is just "angel" but Troy receives the name "dark angel." Hence the title. She calls them these names, but not directly to their face, because Jeff is their perfect child and Troy just gets into trouble. This is a great fiction book and it shows its colors as the plot unfolds the excitement rises and the skills of Klass' writing begin to show. The beginning is slow and too full of detail, but do not let it fool you. As the pieces come together it grabs your attention. I definitely recommended this book to all types of readers.

    Dark Angel is not in the shadows!

    Dark Angel was a great book. It kept me hooked and wanting to read on. The ending was unexpecting and very intense. I would recommend this book to any person over the age of 12.
