 A unique set of circumstances brings a diverse group of teens to work on a Saturday night at Burger Haven. Unfortunately, just before closing time that same night, two armed robbers decide Burger Haven is an easy target. Each of the characters in the unfolding drama shares their perspective on why they are working at Burger Haven in the first place, their thoughts during the robbery and reflections one year later. Readers will appreciate the multiple points of view of the characters and the decisions that each person made that put them into the dangerous situation at Burger Haven.  (Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Awards nominee, 2008-2009)
