Description
A propulsive, gritty novel about a girl marked for death who must fight and steal to stay alive, learning from the most frightening man she knowsher father. Eleven-year-old Polly McClusky is shy, too old for the teddy bear she carries with her everywhere, when she is unexpectedly reunited with her father, Nate, fresh out of jail and driving a stolen car. He takes her from the front of her school into a world of robbery, violence, and the constant threat of death. And he does it to save her life. Nate made dangerous enemies in prisona gang called Aryan Steel has put out a bounty on his head, counting on its members on the outside to finish him off. Theyve already murdered his ex-wife, Pollys mother. And Polly is their next target. Nate and Pollys lives soon become a series of narrow misses, of evading the bad guys and the police, of sleepless nights in motels. Out on the lam, Polly is forced to grow up early: with barely any time to mourn her mother, she must learn how to take a punch and pull off a drug-house heist. She finds herself transforming from a shy little girl into a true fighter. Nate, in turn, learns what its like to love fiercely and unconditionallya love hes never quite felt before. But can their powerful bond transcend the dangerous existence hes carved out for them? Will they ever be able to live an honest life, free of fear? She Rides Shotgun is a gripping and emotionally wrenching novel that upends even our most long-held expectations about heroes, villains, and victims. Nate takes Polly to save her life, but in the end it may very well be Polly who saves him.,from HarperCollins.
