Items related to Old Joe Bear
When dire financial circumstances force Carrie Jackman and her son Jason to move to the poor town of Coatsville, neither is happy. Carrie struggles as a fifth grade teacher, while Jason attends high school, where he is threatened by a bully on the bus called Moose and another in class named Matt. Joe Behr, a Vietnam veteran with a nose blown off in battle, observes Carrie and Jason from the windows in his home across the street. When Jason meets him, he responds in a friendly way, not like other boys who taunt him. When Matt steals Jason's bike and sells it to the Hunt Street Hoods, Joe takes it back; and both he and Matt suffer the Hoods' retribution. It's Jason who helps them. In a remarkable way he makes a friend and finds redemption for a soldier in a story that will both entertain young readers and cause them to ponder war and its aftermath long after the book is put down.
