Rumble Fish — S.E. Hinton

Rumble Fish is a powerful young adult novel by S.E. Hinton, now translated into Ukrainian as Бійцівська рибка. Rasty-James is the toughest kid at school, living in the shadow of his older brother, Motorbike, who always comes to his rescue. He thrives on his reputation for strength — until one day, everything falls apart and Motorbike is nowhere to be found. Struggling with identity, loss, and the pressures of street life, Rasty must confront who he really is when the symbols of toughness no longer hold. In just 112 pages, this Ukrainian edition cuts to the raw core of teenage angst, honor, and belonging.
