But YA has certain rules and I think you'ld find this story in the grownups section. No YA protag, not YA.

I really liked the character of Captain Moroni here, doing his own scouting, for instance, or letting Joshua's father break one oath in order to live a higher one. I also liked the line at the end where Joshua was trying to be modest by telling Moroni that there were thousands of boys just like him back in Jershon.Melanie Goldmundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00270135660110676225noreply@blogger.com
