The Secret Life of Boys

In "The Milk Chicken Bomb," Wedderburn mixes boyish wonderment with small-town torpor in a way that is by turns funny, heartbreaking and mysterious. The narrative builds through a disparate series of events, featuring a cast of characters as colorful as the Alberta prairie is bleak. Mixed throughout are the super-hero dream sequences and mischievous deeds of the troubled young narrator. All the while something is bubbling just below the surface, much like the title's foul (fowl?) munition.
