VOYA
Seventeen-year-old David Albacore was the best basketball player at Gogan Heights when tragedy struck. His mother was brutally murdered by her estranged husband, and David blames himself for her death. He is not alone, for his fourteen-year-old sister, Barney, shares the same feelings, and his younger sister, Linda, has completely withdrawn. David has adopted his mother's maiden name and tries to rebuild his life at a new high school. There he falls in love with Yolanda Dare, girlfriend to Malik, the school's hot-shot basketball player. As he tries to win the heart of "the Dare," he must also protect his sister from Malik's clutches. History seems to repeat itself as he experiences the patterns of violence that plagued his parents' life. Will David choose the right path for himself, or will he fail his sisters, Yolanda, and himself? David is on a quest to define himself in opposition to his murderous father, in a manner similar to Dylan in Carolee Dean's Take Me There (Simon & Schuster, 2010). The story is gripping, and the raw language accurately depicts how young adults speak. The level of violence and David's decision to drop out of school at the end of the book may raise some eyebrows, but many young adults will enjoy reading about the many challenges David faces and his unruly wooing of Yolanda. Reviewer: Etienne Vallee
VOYA
Pull is an enjoyable book. It is the kind of book where once you've read the first page, you are hooked. The characters are easy to relate to, and the situations are very concrete and comprehensible. The author uses simple language to describe the turmoil of the main character. Binns's character uses humor to describe his surroundings during his first day of school, which adds a bright light to the dull atmosphere. Though in some ways the book may seem somewhat predictable, the outcome is a little surprising. Pull is the kind of book you should read on a weekend because once you've started it, you won't want to stop. 3Q,3P. Reviewer: Holly Pepper, Teen Reviewer

School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up—David Albacore's mom has been murdered by his abusive father and he has assumed the adult role in the family. He's starting a new school and has the hots for Yolanda. She is smart, but going out with Malik, a hotshot who leaves bruises on her. David so desperately wants to protect one of his sisters from the likes of Malik that he agrees to pretend to be her boyfriend rather than her brother. (He's in the process of changing his last name to distance himself from his father, so the siblings have different last names.) There's a whole lot more complicating the teen's life. The pace picks up quite a bit in the end as David is faced with another crisis that threatens to put his sisters in foster care. The characters' feelings are realistically portrayed and the raw language is not gratuitous. However, the writing is often repetitious, there's one dangling plotline, and other strands need to be expanded. Nonetheless, this is Binns's first novel and she is an author who definitely has potential.—Amy Cheney, Alameda County Library, Oakland, CA
