A good choice for older teens looking for an adventure, not-quite thriller story. The lives of two teens with troubled pasts are intertwined after one of them witnesses a crime of sorts. Somewhat suspenseful, but not really a page-turner for me. Also, I question how realistic parts of it are. (view spoiler)[For instance, would Niven really not have tracked Brent down after he escaped? He knew his name. It seems unlikely he'd let him slip away like that. (hide spoiler)]
