Book Details
Always cautious, Joe has never even gotten so much as an after-school detention. So how is it that this Saturday night, he's at Burger Heaven, waving a loaded gun, yelling at the teen workers to get down on the floor NOW?
Dylan has always succeeded at his twisted plans--until this Saturday, this robbery, where everything has gone wrong. And now, surrounded by police outside Burger Heaven, Dylan's life will never be the same--and neither will the lives of his hostages.
Terri Fields's Holdup--a novel with nine unforgettable points of view, in four astonishing parts--will leave the reader wondering about luck and life's strange surprises.

In The News
“The story is compelling and the characters are well drawn, giving the book wide appeal for a general audience.” —School Library Journal
“Perhaps most successful is the way Fields' collage of distinct personalities shows how an after-school job, whether or not crisis strikes, creates an unlikely, fleeting community among employees who wouldn't normally connect.” —Booklist
“The notion of one small decision's leading to a life-changing experience is an intriguing one, however, and there's still a pulpy kick in experiencing the immediacy of a crime from one's safe armchair.” —The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
