(3) YA Mia gets a high from doing crazy things. However, being busted for shoplifting turns out to be the catalyst needed to help her change her life. Mia's dying grandfather, her alcoholic single mother, and a new job in an entomology lab help her understand the reasons behind her poor choices. Mia's transformation, though slow to begin, is authentic and affecting.
