(2) YA The Mini Mart "checkout lady" was shot, and the killer escaped down Maggie's street. Maggie, already on edge about starting middle school, becomes more worried knowing that tough-kid classmate-neighbor Gordy is getting a gun for his birthday. Life goes on, though, as Maggie deals with ordinary adolescent problems. Homey first-person narration keeps readers engaged in Maggie's story--and don't worry, the murderer gets caught.
