(4) YA When thirteen-year-old Charlie and her younger brother, Jerry, join an investigation into their neighbor's murder, they begin to learn about evil in their Baltimore neighborhood: drug dealers who threaten Charlie's best friend's family and her own. Charlie's first-person voice is unconvincing, as is the unlikely outcome for the neighborhood, but sympathetic, quirky characters inhabit this lovingly described world.
