Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Fast paced and powerfully delivered, this novel is as taut and suspenseful as a high-stakes game."--School Library Journal

"Hautman's anatomy of a teen addict is chillingly intensified by Denn's narration...watch even reluctant readers ante up."--BCCB

"Swift and salacious, Hautman's latest compellingly echoes gambling's siren call."--Publishers Weekly

"A compelling read."--KLIATT

Reseña del editor:

A teen develops a gambling addiction in this risk-heavy read—in trade paperback for the first time.

Sixteen-year-old Denn Doyle’s troubles begin with a seemingly harmless—and extremely profitable—game of poker with some neighborhood kids. Eager to join the adult world, Denn realizes that casinos and poker are a means to do exactly that. His “hobby” progresses to a habit and then to an addiction that threatens relationships with his parents, girlfriend, and best friend. Hautman explores the escalation of Denn’s gambling without preachiness, dealing with his problem in a straightforward and knowledgeable manner.
