Fourteen-year old Max’s life couldn’t be any better—he has a beautiful girlfriend, cool friends and is one of the most popular guys in his school.
Even though he has to tolerate his mom’s constant nagging, Max’s day-to-day life is great and, for the most part, uneventful.
But running late for school one cool December morning, Max gambles and takes a shortcut down an unknown street. Little does he know that the neighborhood belongs to a vicious local gang—they confront Max and he finds out what real violence is all about.
Just when Max thinks he may not get out alive, along comes a fearless Good Samaritan. Scott Kramer, a temperamental and domineering 14-year-old, takes on the gang and Max and Scott are able to escape mostly unscathed.
Max gratefully invites Scott into his circle of friends, but life is about to change drastically for Max and his friends.
Is this meeting a serendipitous one or will Max regret befriending Kramer?
Troy Garrett writes a brilliantly insightful book that will appeal to young readers. His characters are a cornucopia of races and ethnicities, the plotline is sharp and the dialogue spot on—a must read for families and their teens.
