Grade Level:
In her second novel, The Shadow Brothers (1990), A.E. Cannon successfully relates the complex story of two foster brothers, Marcus and Henry, two young men coming-of-age and coming into their own during their pinnacle junior year of high school. The novel is a realistic representation of how the strain of prejudice puts a vice-like pressure on people to come to terms with their differences as well as recognize their similarities.
