'Friends sometimes turn out to be fakes and will betray you just for fun, or greed, or to save their own skin. Real friends will stay loyal no matter what, but it can take time to find them.

'When Rocket, Jules, and Doogs end up in jail together - what, if anything, do they learn about true friendship? How much time does it take?'

'Teens! Everything's black or white. No greys. Everyone believes they are invincible -- or useless. Who hasn't thought, 'that won't happen to me'? Well it happens to Debbie, Rocket, Kylie, and Steven -- a stolen car, a high-speed chase, a crash. There lives are put on hold ...except Stephen. He has no life.This novel doesn't flinch from portraying the reality and harshness of juvenile detention centers; the hope and despair, the fairness and inequity. It also addresses many fundamental issues: the nature of offense, peer pressure, death, loyalty and friendship, self-image, hopelessness and suicide. A compelling read with a shocking climax.'
