(2) YA Fifteen-year-old Erica (who is white) feels like "the freak show coming to town" at her mostly black new school. Then Kalvin Barnes, the Knockout King, recruits her to film his violent TKO Club. When she begins to feel uneasy about her involvement and tries to pull back, life turns harrowing. Characters are well drawn and believable, and the story is well plotted and suspenseful.
