We All Fall Down - Robert Cormier

Descriere

As The Avenger searches for the teenage boys who trashed the Jerome home and left 14-year-old Karen Jerome in a coma, Buddy, one of the trashers, increases his drinking in order to cope with his parents' separation and his obsession with Jane Jerome, Karen's sister. They entered the house at 9:02 P.M. and trashed their way through the Cape Cod cottage. At 9:46 P.M. Karen Jerome made the mistake of arriving home early. Thrown down the basement stairs, Karen slips into a coma. The trashers slip away. But The Avenger has seen it all.
