  • "Nach dem Tod von Henrys Bruder wird der Vater depressiv und die Mutter arbeitet hart, um die Familie durchzubringen. Da ist es ein Glück, dass Henry einen Aushilfsjob im Laden von Mr Hairston findet. Die Boshaftigkeit und der abgrundtiefe Menschenhass des Ladenbesitzers belasten den Jungen psychisch aber immer mehr. Endlich heckt er in seiner Not einen teuflischen Plan aus. Er zerstört einem alten Mann, der den Holocaust überlebt hat und mit dem er im Kunstzentrum Freundschaft geschlossen hat, dessen geschnitzte Skulptur und verhindert so eine Ausstellung dieses Kunstwerks. Nach seiner üblen Tat findet Henry aber doch den Mut, Mr Hairston die Stirn zu bieten. Er entlarvt ihn als bösartigen, bisweilen auch gewalttätigen Mann und verlässt den Laden für immer. In seinen abendlichen Gebeten, in denen er um Vergebung für das, was er dem alten Juden angetan hat, bittet, schliesst er aber auch den Ladenbesitzer mit ein. Die spannende Geschichte schildert auf eindrückliche und differenzierte Art und Weise die geistig-seelische Entwicklung eines Jugendlichen. (Quelle: Verzeichnis ZKL)."
