In his daring first novel, R. Zamora Linmark treats the music of the Bee Gees and schoolyard bullying as equally formative experiences in the lives of a group of Filipino fourth-graders living in Kalihi, Honolulu, who call themselves the Farrah Fawcett Fan Club. The characters' stories unfold largely in the documentary detritus of their lives-their poems and prayers, book reports and teacher evaluations-all written in carefully observed, pitch-perfect vernacular.
