While violence runs rampant throughout New York, a teenage female faces risk within her own house in Meg Medina's riveting coming-of-age book. Nora Lopez is 17 during the infamous New York summer months of 1977, when the location is besieged by arson, a massive blackout, and a serial killer known as Kid of Sam who shoots young women on the pavements. Nora's family life isn't heading so well either: her bullying brother, Hector, is growing more threatening by the day, her mom is helpless and falling in back of on the rent, and her daddy phone calls only on getaways. All Nora wants is to carefully turn 17 and be on her own. Even though there is a cute new person who started working with her at the deli, is seeing even worth the risk when the killer loves picking off lovers who stay away too late? Award-winning creator Meg Medina transports us to a time when New York seemed balanced on a knife-edge, with tempers and temperature ranges running high, to talk about the storyline of a young woman who discovers that the greatest dangers tend to be nearer than we prefer to say - and the hardest to simply accept.
