![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() She finds herself transforming from a shy little girl into a true fighter. Out on the lam, Polly is forced to grow up early: with barely any time to mourn her mother, she must learn how to take a punch and pull off a drug-house heist. Nate and Polly’s lives soon become a series of narrow misses, of evading the bad guys and the police, of sleepless nights in motels. They’ve already murdered his ex-wife, Polly’s mother. ![]() Nate made dangerous enemies in prison-a gang called Aryan Steel has put out a bounty on his head, counting on its members on the outside to finish him off. He takes her from the front of her school into a world of robbery, violence, and the constant threat of death. So, here’s the official blurb to keep me from slipping:Įleven-year-old Polly McClusky is shy, too old for the teddy bear she carries with her everywhere, when she is unexpectedly reunited with her father, Nate, fresh out of jail and driving a stolen car. Harper’s better to read on this than me, anyway. This is one of those books where you want to sit and talk about it for a couple of hours - recapping and dissecting the events, analyzing, and speculating about what happens after the book ends or you don’t want to say anything beyond “just read it, I don’t want to ruin anything for you.” I could absolutely relish the former, but I’m going to hew closer to the latter. Mystery/Detective Fiction/Crime Fiction/Thriller. ![]()
