Three young teens who headed down the wrong road in life are given the opportunity of a lifetime when they are enrolled in a juvenile delinquent program. The programs aim is to help these troubled kids to readapt to a crime free life. The program head, Mr. Healy imposes strict guidelines on the juveniles in his program and with any step out of line Mr. Healy would send them back to the big house. After some time in the program the newly freed delinquents begin to show great progress, but when all seems to be going to plan Mr. Healy is involved in an accident which put him in a coma. Now the real struggle begins, should the three troubled teens keep on the right path or will the lingering temptation of going back to life on the streets stop them in their paths?
I was inspired to read this novel by Mandy’s post. I agree with her review completely. The author does a great job in using the setting as a key asset in the story by portraying to the reader how the city mocks the three young criminals. I liked this novel a lot mostly because it was very quick in developing a plotline; there is a constant sense of curiosity that keeps the readers turning each page. I would recommend this novel to mostly young adult males because so of the issues are a bit mature in nature and because a male can relate and understand the characters’ constant moral struggles.
