About The Color War by Jodi Picoult
Raymond would rather spend the summer with his best friend, Monroe, but his mother sends him to Bible camp for inner-city children. Far from home, he hopes to impress Melody, a counselor and lifeguard, during the camp’s Color War sports competition. At nine, Raymond carries a painful secret and a loss that has made him grow up quickly.
