YA Salisbury
Island Boyz: Short Stories by Graham Salisbury
In Island Boyz he makes good use of that skill in 10 stories and a poem set in this Pacific society.

The book opens with a richly evocative poem drawn from the author's own teen days of surfing, stolen papayas, and warm nights on the beach. The last piece is a strongly constructed story of a boy whose older brother regains his dream of owning a deep sea fishing charter boat after he returns from Vietnam missing a leg.
