TWOC: Taken without Owner's Consent

216 pp. | Viking | April, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-670-06090-0 $16.99
(4) YA TWOC stands for "taken without owner's consent," and a "twoccer" is someone like Matt, who steals cars. This hobby gets him sent to a juvenile rehabilitation camp where he and two other attendees face their demons. Matt's character feels slightly off-balance throughout, and a late-introduced plot twist doesn't quite work. A key to British slang is provided.
