The plot touches on many teen-relevant issues, such as politics, friendship, adolescence, responsibility, and loneliness. Featuring a predominantly female African American cast and, with surprisingly comfortable ease, a transsexual character as well. The significance of that would be empty, of course, without the weight and believability of the story's characters and relationships, and the heart- tugging emotions they sometimes produce. The dialog is sharp and rhythmic and the art balances a sleek manga technique, credible future looks and grunge fashions. 526 0 Accelerated Reader AR|bUG|c2.6|d1.0|z152068. 650 0 Montana, Scout (Fictitious character)|vFiction. 650 0 African Americans|vFiction. 650 0 African Americans|vComic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc.|zUnited States. 650 0 Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 Graphic novels|zUnited States. 655 0 Superhero comic books, strips, etc. 655 0 Young adult fiction. 994 02|bCKE
