(2) YA High-school junior Wendy realizes her friendship with brash queen bee Kenzie has turned toxic. Kenzie's bullying of a classmate is escalating cruelly, and Wendy grapples with her own choices in light of her convicted policeman father's crimes. This is a thoughtful, moving portrait of a girl on the verge of finding her own moral compass, set against a strong backdrop of a dynamic working-class Chicago neighborhood.
