Frank Bonham was a prolific author celebrated for his Westerns and young adult novels. His works for young adults, set against tough, realistic urban backdrops, defined the 1960s and often drew from his extensive pulp magazine experience. Bonham skillfully captured the gritty essence of life, whether on the frontier or within city streets. His ability to craft compelling narratives that resonated with authenticity earned him a lasting place in American literature.
When Rufus Henry gets out of work camp for Grand Theft Auto, he has only one place to go--back to Durango Street. Almost right away, he gets on the wrong side of the Gassers, has to join the rival Moors, and starts running for his life. Years ahead of its time, Durango Street, like The Outsiders, shows that gang violence is, sadly, nothing new--and nothing glamorous. "A starkly realistic, convincing, well-written teen novel." School Library Journal
