There was Doug Swieteck's brother, for one, who was already shaving and had been to three police stations in two states and who once spent a night in jail. No one knew what for, but I thought it might be for something in the Number ...
If I don't play, I'll live another day, I thought. “Hoodhood,” said Doug Swieteck's brother, “you coming or not?” What could I do? It was like walking into my own destiny. “You're on that side.” He pointed. I already knew that.

Ulasan Pengguna - ms_rowse - LibraryThingLove love love this book. I want to be Mrs. Baker--she is the perfect teacher.
