YA
Desperate to save his girlfriend's family from eviction, sixteen-year-old Blue is hired by a wealthy filmmaker to play a dirty trick on an old nemesis. Blue's scheme works, but then he's faced with a moral decision about how to use the money he's earned. As with other books in this clever series, the sprawling plot is almost secondary to the inventive narrative style and eccentric characters.
