(2) YA When Kata's best friend and fellow gang member Ana is killed in a drive-by shooting, Kata looks first for revenge and finally for a way to make sense of the loss. Grim realities, while not romanticized, are tempered by a gently hopeful ending. Ewing's short novel provides a portrait of a girl and a society that gives some substance to the brief reports of gang shootings on the evening news.
