And that's where Beck's shared experience with the rest of her freshman class abruptly ends and the tangled mysteries of her astonishing life start to unravel. Homeschooled and raised in isolation by the jumpy, over-protective Gill, Beck isn't allowed online or out of the house alone. Even a quick pit stop on their quiet family road trip takes some negotiation before they finally pull into a remote gas station, where their cautiously stable peace is jolted by gunfire. Beck emerges from the restroom to find her father gone and a dead body on the floor. Beck is in the world now, and she's beyond not ready for it.</p> <p>A taut suspense thriller that challenges our perceptions of family and identity, MINUS is a coming-of-age tale where a teen's new discoveries might be best kept in the shadows.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Twists and turns abound in Lisa Naffziger's teen suspense thriller. -- <i>FOREWORD</i></p> <p>A mature but important story for a time in readers' lives when anxiety can be overwhelming. -- <i>COMICS BEAT</i></p> <p>The artwork is dark to reflect the mood of the book, but it also builds much of the suspense. -- <i>SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL</i> Good Comics For Kids</p> <p>Iron Circus regularly puts out some exciting and interesting comic work, and that alone is worth exploring this book. -- <i>MULTIVERSITY COMICS</i></p> <p>As a thriller, the book takes us to dark places where the line between right and wrong blurs. -- <i>BUT WHY THO?
