- Synopsis
- Nick has never felt in control. He's slow in school, he has an alcoholic father, and he likes a pretty waitress whose cruel boyfriend taunts Nick, making him feel more powerless than usual. Nick wants to help his sister get away to go to college (against their father's will), and he wants to protect the waitress from her abusive boyfriend. And suddenly he feels in control--with a gun in his hand--until he discovers he's far, far from the truth. A brief, compelling story with the impact of H. E. Hinton's The Outsiders, gritty action combined with Nick's kindness and humanity make this a novel of gripping suspense and surprising redemption for the reluctant reader.
