(4) YA Penelope, the cosseted daughter of a mob boss in the underground organ-selling business, has a rare and dangerous disease that makes her bruise and hemorrhage easily. When the Family is betrayed, she is flung out of her home and into the dangers of New York City alone. The near-future mob story is well developed and exciting, but Penelope's disease feels extraneous.
