(3) YA Biracial sixteen-year-old Isaac takes the rap when a car heist goes wrong. He'll be out of juvie in thirty days if he sticks to his story, and he's determined to help his younger sister get away from their alcoholic mom. With strong, emotional storytelling, McLaughlin realistically portrays juvenile delinquency and how hard it can be to break the cycle.
