The natural descendent of characters like Huckleberry Finn and Holden Caufield, Korean-American Jeon-Gi is torn between competing ideas of himself. At home, his working-class parents dote on him. Outside, he is part of a roving pack of kids with dominion over a derelict baseball field, weedy parking lot, and rusty jungle gym. Getting into and out of trouble is all-consuming. But the summer he turns eleven, he becomes embroiled in a staggering series of events reverberating far beyond himself and his family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDevastating in its emotional precision, A Tender Age captures a family and community in striking distance of the American dream, and a young person on the precipice of adult knowledge, looking at his own culpability and looking away—then thinking about it for the rest of his life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e • Author: Chang-Rae Lee • Publisher: Riverhead • Format: Hardcover\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cedar Leaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46122977427500,"sku":"9798217048441","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0697\/2234\/1420\/files\/9798217048441.jpg?v=1789061543","url":"https:\/\/cedarleafbooks.com\/es\/products\/a-tender-age-a-novel","provider":"Cedar Leaf Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
