4 out of 5This is a great read for boys 13 to 18. The book follows the prosecution of 16 year old Steve, who is labeled a Monster, for his alleged role in a crime that leads to a murder. Handwritten ledgers accompany the layout of the book in the form of a film script to take the reader into Steve's world where jail is about surviving. The gut wrenching agony of a young man is eerily relived through his own trial.
