"Paradise Boys" is narrated by JoJo Arnold, a violent, angry
16-year-old boy who is spending a summer in a minimum-security
institution for emotionally disturbed adolescents. In a racially
mixed dormitory wing, he lives with nine other troubled teens who
have a variety of problems.
The Paradise Boys live in a place which takes its name from its
location, Paradise Hill, on the city's North Side. Surrounded by
hostile neighbors, who call the boys criminals and retards, and on
set a hill above an urban jungle called the War Streets, the
Paradise Boys grapple with the confusions of life. Playing
softball, going canoeing, traveling to amusement parks, the boys
also take drugs, fight, and cope with parents, guilt, and their own
troubled pasts. Facing an endless struggle with each other --and
within themselves-- the Paradise Boys fight with the world until
the novel's violent and shocking conclusion.
