1st sentence:
Five Lousy Minutes/” Detective George Rawls hung up the phone, brought
his foot down from his cluttered desktop, looked at his watch and sighed.”
The summary blurb says it all, “A new and enigmatic
student named Shayne Blank appears at high school one day, befriends the
smallest boy in the school (who takes pride in wearing a suit to school every
day and is a smart-mouth), and takes on a notorious drug dealer before turnig
himself in to the police for killing someone.”
Six serious character studies could be the next step
after reading this fast-paced, mesmerizing story – Shayne, Mikey, his sister
Marie, Detective Rawls, drug dealer Jon, and Mikey and Maries’s dad….plus, come
to think of it, Trey: the huge, half-clueless boy who’s not sure where he
belongs.
