(2) YA Barely conscious of her own unhappiness, fifteen-year-old Roberta spends all her time working at her family's virtual-reality arcade in a failing mall. When a handful of events converge and wake her from her semi-slumber, Roberta finally confronts the horrid truth of her mother's murder. Loaded with moral and ethical concerns, Bloor's novel offers a palpable atmosphere and a fascinating range of undeniably human characters.
