Cagesby Peg Kehret
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Kit Hathaway makes a mistake, she doesn't fool around. Upset about losing the lead in the school play and problems with her obnoxious stepfather, Kit impulsively steals a gold bracelet from a fancy department store. And promptly gets caught. Suddenly her whole life changes. Kit is sure she's blown her chance at a scholarship, and even her relationship with her best friend is strained. Ironically, the only good thing is her sentence: 20 hours of volunteer work at the humane society. Kit feels just like those animals...caged in. But with the help of a special new friend, Kit comes to a startling realization: the key to her cage is right in her own hand. Synopsis:The popular author of Nightmare Mountain and Sisters, Long Ago delivers a moving story about a teenager trying to escape the "cages" of her problems. Kit took the bracelet in a moment of self pity, but when she's arrested for shoplifting, she is forced to face the mistakes she's made.
