(2) YA Fourteen-year-old Reese stole prescription pads and sold them to a drug dealer. Now he's in a Bronx juvenile detention facility, trying to make the right choices to earn an early release. But Reese has a host of things working against him. Myers returns to a familiar milieu to riff on favorite themes: hard luck, second chances, overcoming adversity, living with purpose and determination.
