(4) YA Huck is determined to win his late father's poker title back from egomaniacal Mr. Abbott, Huck's high school math teacher who stole Huck's father's prized watch while he was dying. Though the dialogue is hackneyed ("Some of you bright lights can't even spell poker"), this edgy and fast-paced novel will appeal to teenage cardsharps and fans of hard-boiled thrillers.
