Told from multiple perspectives using graphic format everyone has an opinion on Robbie's crime. But why did he really do it?
In documentary style, family members, friends, classmates and community members express varied reactions to 13-year-old Robbie Jones’ inexplicable, unexpected shooting and killing of a Korean liquor store owner. Good for reluctant readers. Violence, guns, shooting. Illustrated with computer enhanced photos and graphics.
