(3) YA Fourteen-year-old April's neighborhood would be perfectly ordinary if it weren't also a mafia enclave. Lurie's meticulous re-creation of 1970s suburbia and the emotions, enthusiasms, and anxieties of her heroine are witty and believable. The balance she strikes between April's relatively normal family and a neighbor who packs a handgun while secretly handing out hundred-dollar bills makes this story unique.
