CHEATED, by Patrick Jones Posted by Mrs. Schauer

CHEATED, by Patrick Jones
AR: Yes
Interest Level: Upper Grades

A couple of teenagers beat a homeless man to death after he stiffs them two bucks on a beer run. Talk about an opening that sucks the reader in! This is the story of Mick, one of the kids who was there and witnessed the murder. This book tells about the series of events that led up to the murder and the attempt to cover it up and avoid punishment. Jones does a fantastic job of taking the reader into the mind of a tortured and confused young man—a definite page-turner!
