A picture is worth a thousand words -- and with a unique photographic format, a stunning original voice, and a provocative portrayal of bullying, Young Man with Camera is a book to get people talking. T-- is used to getting grief. He gets it from his mom, who blames herself for his accident years earlier. He gets it from Mr. Lam, who suspects every kid of stealing from his shop. Worst of all, he gets it from Joined at the Hip, a trio of bullies so vicious that they leave T-- terrified of even using his entire name. But T-- has his own strength too: his camera, which captures the unique way he sees the world. His pictures connect him to Ms. Karamath, the kind librarian at school; his friend Sean, whose passion for mysteries is matched only by his love for his dog; and especially Lucy, a homeless woman who shares his admiration for the photographer Diane Arbus. When Lucy is attacked by Joined at the Hip, T-- documents the assault on film. But the bullies know he has the photographs, and their anger could be deadly. What's the right thing for T-- to do? Do pictures ever tell the whole truth? And what if the truth isn't always the right answer?

From School Library Journal Gr 6 Up—A gripping look at bullying, its outcomes, and the reasons why some kids can't "just say no." Seventh grader T—was the victim of a terrible accident as a kid, and one side of his face is disfigured with scars. The bullying—spearheaded by Ryan and carried out by his joined-at-the-hip gang of toadies—has continued ever since. Ryan has the personal charm to cover up his sociopathic tendencies, so no one believes T—'s complaints. When the protagonist befriends homeless Lucy and documents bits of her life with his ever-present camera, his tormentors' focus shifts to include her. An ugly exchange escalates into a murderous assault, leaving T—with a horrifying dilemma: Should he come forward, make the evildoers pay, and live with the almost-certainty they'll go after his best friend? Or should he keep silent? This is a high-intensity, hard-hitting novel—one that could be the source of significant discussion among readers. Unfortunately, there's not a single adult in the title character's life who can get beneath his silent exterior and help him—although a librarian gets close—and the two-dimensional flatness of the adults in the story (and even of his nemesis) is the one jarring note in an otherwise well-executed work. VERDICT Although most teens will be unlikely to pick up this title on their own, it's worthy of hand-selling and should be a staple in English classes and anti-bullying curricula.—Elizabeth Friend, Wester Middle School, TX
Review
Early Praise for Young Man With Camera:
"This is what T- does with his camera: He makes the world larger, deeper, more beautiful and complex. Against this, the evil he confronts can only make the world smaller and uglier. And Young Man With Camera does the same; it reminds us that Art always confronts, and sometimes confounds, Darkness. This is a novel about the beauty that lies within, the darkness that comes from without, and the grace and nobility of a boy who sees it all through his lens. You will grow larger from having read this book." -Gary D. Schmidt, Newbery Honor-winning author of The Wednesday Wars and Orbiting Jupiter
"A brilliantly original voice and a gut-twisting story come together for a dazzling jewel of a book. Truly outstanding." -Kevin Brooks, author of Candy and The Bunker Diary
Praise for Young Man With Camera:
"Told through prose and photographs, this is a brutal heartbreak of a novel, deservedly just nominated for a Governor-General's Award.One of the few books for this generation that will stick with them into adulthood.." - Globe and Mail

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Unexpected read By Gaby at Starting Fresh blog When I started Young Man with Camera, I expected it to be an adventure story of a young boy in a city, taking pictures, capturing events, making friends, etc.But it turns out that T doesn't have very many friends, except for Sean and his dog. T is marked by large burns on this head and it's made him the target of bullies as well as less popular in middle school. We find that T's learned to deal with his lack of friends and the distrust that some teachers have of him. T also finds ways to cope with the disappointment of his parents. His camera and the photos help him make sense of the world and express his conflicting emotions. Certainly, he doesn't rely on words or talking. On particularly bad days, he just wants Silence with his best friend Sean. T's story is sad enough but he makes friends with a homeless woman named Lucy. He understands something about her and shares his photos. They hang out, but attract the attention and bullying of Ryan and his crew.Ryan's found ways to make it seem as though T-- does all sorts of bad things and plants evidence that teachers find each time incriminating T. T's never tried or learned to speak up to refute any of these "incidents" so when Ryan's tricks get out of hand, T doesn't know what to do. Whether to confront Ryan and reveal the truth or to stay silent and protect his friend Sean.Young Man with Camera tells the story of friendships, loyalty, disappointment, bullying and isolation. It's a bit frustrating because I keep wanting T to just speak up, but part of the power of the story is learning what it might be like to be the sort of person that T is.
