This is a graphic adaptation of the novel by Walter Dean Myers. Accused of felony murder, Steve has to be concerned with how the jury sees him but he isn't even sure how he sees himself. He imagines the trial and his time in jail as a movie. The story lends itself well to graphic format. This is a good pick for teens, especially those who like graphic novels.
