(2) YA In this riveting sociological and psychological thriller, self-reliant Ashley has a secret: her alter-ego, "Cindy," the in-your-face graffiti artist who has been tagging walls all over her decaying urban neighborhood. Ashley's daring attracts the notice of the local gang leader, and at the same time she begins to receive threats addressed directly to Cindy. With a nail-bitingly suspenseful climax and satisfying ending, this is a taut-as-a-tightrope tale.
