OLDER FICTION
Schmatz, Pat

Mousetraps

(4) YA Grade-school friends Maxie, a cartoonist, and Rick, an inventor, are reunited several years after a gay-bashing incident forced Rick to leave town. The book takes an even darker and more unexpected turn as Maxie realizes that Rick isn't quite the same boy he used to be. Though the story's pacing is occasionally off, Maxie's cartoon sketches add another dimension to her first-person narration.
