Review

A tough subject line, that inner city kids get but suburban kids won't realise, the very terror of the drugs and violence some inner city kids face everyday. Blaise Montgomery, fifteen, chooses what she thinks is the safety of being a part of a gang will give her. However the danger she is in as a "lure" to rival gang members leaves her with an important decision, stay or leave. A decision a lot of teens face with the choices of friends and situations they find themselves in today. A timeless storyline.

Overall Book Score: good
