Description
Ever since Logan found out that his uncle was involved in the accident that killed Logan's dad, he's been full of resentment. He cuts his uncle out of his life and finds that being reckless is the only way to feel anything. Looking for a place to drink, underaged and undisturbed, Logan and his friends break into a house they think is abandoned. What they find there gets them into trouble with the law and causes Logan's girlfriend to break up with him. But it also makes Logan face up to his anger and his need to forgive and be forgiven.

Lorimer & Company is producing some engaging "hi-lo" (high interest, lower reading complexity) titles that you will consider prime reading material for your strongest school library patrons.
That the titles entertain and engage all readers, rather than just the reluctant ones, makes these choices all the more valuable.
These four titles in the "Sidestreets" line are being marketed by Lorimer for their wide diverse appeal and "hot button" topics. The protagonists are nicely representative of so many young adult readers who don't normally find themselves in the books they read.
That the reading levels of these books are unobtrusively lower than most YA titles is the icing on the cake: The writing is compelling enough that I soon forgot I was reading hi-lo titles within the first few pages.
I am delighted to report that the excellent story telling, yet broad topics and individual strengths, in these books are something I have immediately purchased for my YA patrons. I'll be eager to share with adults who support those YA patrons as well.
