Despite the fact that those in the community find it impossible that he could be the one to have shot the old man, Robbie Jones knows differently because he knows what really happened. Reprint.

Reviews
Robbie Jones, 13 years old and a loner, takes his father's handgun, and kills an elderly store owner. This slim volume records the varied responses of family, community members, and classmates. Robbie, obsessed with his Megaboy drawings, could be the boy next door. Except for an implied psychosis, no clear motive for his violence is evident, leaving the reader appropriately unsettled. The unusual book design contributes to the emotional content of a book that is sure to spark debate.
