Eli’s the son and Ben’s the dad but sometimes it seems reversed in this thoughtful coming-of-age story. When Ben is accused of white-collar corruption, 12-year-old Eli doesn’t believe it could be true and defends his father at all costs. But as his relationship with the detective in charge of the case deepens, Eli learns to do the right thing. “Eli & Ben” raises important moral issues for young and old. (Ages 12+)
