About the Book

A stunning, sophisticated story about a boy's love for his older brother. Bing wants more than anything to become a soccer player like his big brother Mone. That's no easy matter for a Belgian boy of eleven or twelve, especially for a boy like Bing. It's the late 1930s, and Mone has been conscripted into the army, leaving Bing's mother more or less dysfunctional. With the clear understanding that if he wants to get anything he's going to have to do it by dint of brains, cunning, and perhaps a bit of chicanery, Bing asks the local soccer hero, Dani Bennoni, for help. Dani Bennoni kindly but firmly refuses to train him. Bing hatches a plan to get Dani's help, but the plan backfires, and the misunderstandings multiply. Dani decides to teach Bing a lesson. What follows--and the action all occurs in a twenty-four-hour period--involves deception, confrontation, panic, humiliation amid a bit of homosexual activity, and Bing's unsuccessful attempt to hide Dani's call-up notice. The motivating force behind all Bing's decisions and activities is his love for his brother, unencumbered by sentimentality, making it all the more profound.

About the Author :
Bart Moeyaert was born in Belgium. He has written screenplays, plays, short stories, and poetry. Beginning with his first book, his writing has won a wide variety of European literary and cinematic awards. In 2004 Moeyaert was nominated a third time for the Hans Christian Andersen Award, and in 2006 he was named poet laureate of the city of Antwerp, where he lives. His young-adult novels available in English translation from Front Street include Hornet's Nest and It's Love We Don't Understand. About the latter, Publishers Weekly wrote in a starred review, "Through the voice of his innocent yet keenly observant and compassionate narrator, the author eloquently expresses the nuances and subtleties of the relationships that shape the person she is becoming." Wanda Boeke has many translations of prose and poetry to her credit, including Renate Dorrestein's Unnatural Mothers, an IMPAC Dublin Literary Award nominee. Her Front Street work includes Bart Moeyaert's It's Love We Don't Understand and Ineke Holtwijk's Asphalt Angels (Batchelder Honor Award, ALA's Best Books for Young Adults, and IRA's Notable Books for a Global Society booklists). She lives in New England.
