A selection from the 2018 OPL Teen Battle of the Books, this work provided challenges on several levels. First, the subject matter - a teen plans to get revenge for the shooting of his older brother. Second, the style - the entire story is presented in verse. While poetry is not my first choice, I found this style worked very well to relate the rhythms and phrases of the characters. It was also a fast read (sometimes very few words on the page) which supported the time frame of the story (just over 60 seconds). Highly recommended to any reader.
