Holdup

(4) YA Nine distinct characters--including a teen survivor of domestic abuse, an elderly teacher, and a calculating thief--chronicle the planning, execution, and aftermath of a fast food restaurant holdup that goes terribly wrong. Strong and detailed until the final few sections, this story wraps up quickly and bloodlessly, detracting slightly from the holdup's tense reality.
