Summary

When eighth-grader Lex gets stuck walking her nerdy neighbor Bobby to school one chilly spring morning, she is certain nothing could possibly be worse. But then an act of violence occurs along the way, and Lex is forced to confront her own conscience. Is violence ever deserved? Who was really at fault? And, in the moment of confrontation, was she actually powerless to stop it?
