(3) YA No one understands how Devon, a model student and athlete, could throw her newborn baby in the trash. Now Devon must undergo a hearing to decide whether she'll be tried for attempted murder as a juvenile or adult. This dramatic courtroom novel presents an in-depth picture of the juvenile justice system. A detached third-person narrator conveys Devon's mixed-up emotions and psychological distress.
