(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Henry P. Raleigh. Seventh-grader Mia is sent to an alternative boarding school after she's caught shoplifting. The only girl in a group of emotionally troubled boys, Mia reflects on what led her to shoplift and reveals how deeply a classmate's death affected her. The plot is thin and filled with gaps, but surprisingly complex characters keep the story alive.
