drive-by shootings

Years ago Nia lost her father to the violence plaguing her small Indiana city, but when the five-year-old boy she babysits for is killed in a drive-by shooting, she and her friends decide enough is enough and set out to find the murderer--never anticipating how close to home that investigation will lead.

A drive-by shooting occurs in the barrio, and later on Roxie Torres turns up having been shot claiming a drifter did it, but fellow student Ernesto Sandoval does not believe her.

"In this high-interest novel for teen readers, Jemma witnesses a drive-by shooting but is afraid to speak up"--Publisher provided.

Everyone's a little nervous after a drive-by in the barrio, but then Roxie, a fellow senior, is shot and a homeless drifter is arrested, but Ernesto doesn't think Roxie's story adds up.

A murder occurs on Grant Street near Tubman High and as far as anyone knows the victim was an innocent bystander.

Jesse pours his heart and soul into his sketchbook to make sense of life in his troubled Harlem neighborhood and the loss of a close friend.
