No one understands how Devon, a model student and athlete, could throw her newborn baby in the trash. Now Devon must undergo a hearing to decide whether she'll be tried for attempted murder as a juvenile or adult. This dramatic courtroom novel presents an in-depth picture of the juvenile justice system. A detached third-person narrator conveys Devon's mixed-up emotions and psychological distress.

Written by a graduate, this novel describes "Beast," West Point's tough orientation summer, as New Cadet Andi Davis struggles to prove herself among the guys. The portrayal of military culture, especially the intense relationships between squad mates and squad leaders, is engrossing, and the picture is broad enough to intrigue--or warn off--potential applicants. Glos.
