(3) YA Sixteen-year-old Andrew has always been good with numbers. When he applies his talents to gambling, he gets hooked and quickly finds himself stealing from family and friends to support his poker habit. Andrew's rocky relationships with his parents and friends are well drawn, bringing depth and realism to the story. Long passages describing card play will interest poker fans.
