A Junior Library Guild Selection "Twists and turns abound in Lisa
Naffziger's teen suspense thriller." - FOREWORD Beck is on her way
to college, thrilled at the possibilities of the next exciting
chapter, barely holding it in as she clutches her childhood
favorite toy in the family car with her loving dad behind the
wheel. And that's where Beck's shared experience with the rest of
her freshman class abruptly ends and the tangled mysteries of her
astonishing life start to unravel. Homeschooled and raised in
isolation by the jumpy, over-protective Gill, Beck isn't allowed
online or out of the house alone. Even a quick pit stop on their
quiet family road trip takes some negotiation before they finally
pull into a remote gas station, where their cautiously stable peace
is jolted by gunfire. Beck emerges from the restroom to find her
father gone and a dead body on the floor. Beck is in the world now,
and she's beyond not ready for it. A taut suspense thriller that
challenges our perceptions of family and identity, MINUS is a
coming-of-age tale where a teen's new discoveries might be best
kept in the shadows.
