“I don’t know how long we might have stood there staring at each other if Mr. Malverne Washington, the night watchman at the building across the street, hadn’t forgotten his lunch and come in just then to buy something to eat. It was later I learned this, of course, and also that he’d played football in high school. High school was a long way back for him, but he’d kept in good shape and when he threw himself on me, I was down for the count.”

In the fictional story, “Bad” by Jean Ferris, Dallas finds her way into trouble that changed her life completely. Dallas isn’t a normal 16 year old girl. She lives with her cold hearted Father, lost her Mother, at the age of four, and got mixed up in with the wrong crowd; where she met her dangerous boyfriend Ray, her promiscuous best friend Pam and her boyfriend, Sonny. After a fight with her Dad, rebellious Dallas continued for the adventure her friends had out for her that night. They had planned on robbing a Jiffy-Spot and she had the pleasure of holding the pistol. When Dallas was tackled to the ground by a local security guard her friends slid out without being seen. Being sent to Juvenile Hall and to the Girls Rehabilitation Center wasn’t even the hardest part Dallas had to go through. A 6 month sentence seemed like forever in GRC but as fights, books, and friends finished, so did the time.

Jean Ferris brought the frustrations of all teens, crime, peer pressure, and life lessons into an exciting and dramatic story told by Dallas. The moral of the story is that things don’t always go your way. In Dallas’s life, things never have. This book never stopped with shocking surprises that mature people who like adventure would love to read about.
