The Dog Meows, The Cat Barks

Once, Sato Reang's father tried to bully him into being a pious child. Now he's a little Devil. He stops saying his prayers. He starts to run with the wild boys: drinking, fighting, stealing. He eats his fill of life, barges in where he pleases. Maybe he'll burn down the school... If only Jamal, his strictly religious schoolmate, would join him. Sato intends to lead him astray and introduce him to worldly pleasures. Even if the consequences are darker than he could have imagined. Devilishly funny and delicately moving, The Dog Meows, the Cat Barks is a lightning strike of a coming-of-age novel.
