Interesting story about a girl who works at her family's arcade in a failing mall, her troubled relationships with her remaining family members, and her more close "family" of other mall workers and kids who hung out at the arcade.

Teens journey to allow herself to remember what actaully happened in her mother's murder. Lots of teen social interaction and angst.

Another great book by Bloor. If you are open for discussions with your kids on race, class and everything else that's important for our children, this is a wonderful one to read. Bloor's writing is ever so easy to understand but the ending of his stories are not as easy to know. Love it!

A very moving novel. There were some places that if you arent really into the book or have distractions its hard to follow.
