Grade 7 Up–As if his parents' impending divorce isn't stressful enough, the 16-year-old unnamed protagonist and self-described Prep skater dude writes a confessional detailing his remorse over his role in the gruesome death of a railroad security officer while hopping a train to Safeway to get beer. Also, he has fallen into an uneasy relationship with cheerleader Jennifer, who seems more interested in losing her virginity than he does. Nelson's natural-sounding teen speak authentically grounds this story in contemporary high school/skateboard culture. After deciding not to call the police immediately following the accidental homicide, it gradually becomes easier to justify continued silence, and simultaneously becomes harder to imagine coming forward to anyone about what happened. What finally moves him–and the plot–is the formerly pesky little girl down the street, Macy, now an attractive sophomore, who genuinely listens to him and cares enough about him to recognize his distress. She suggests that if he truly cannot tell anyone what's bugging him, perhaps he should at least write about it. Thus, this novel, which probes the cultural divide separating the narrator from the rough-and-tumble Streeters, examines the chasm separating moral responsibility from the eternal damnation of keeping a horrible secret. The story is less resolved than Michael Cadnum's Calling Home (Viking, 1991), but many teens will relate on one level or another to this teen's terrible dilemma.–Joel Shoemaker, Southeast Junior High School, Iowa City, IA

Booklist
In a compelling voice, the 16-year-old narrator tells how he got into the mess he is in. He is heavy into skateboarding, so when he gets a chance to visit sketchy Paranoid Park, where the rougher element skates, he is so there. On his second visit, he jumps a train with a street kid. Waiting at the yard is a transit cop, who goes after the narrator with a fury enforced by his billy club. The boy fights back, hitting the cop with his skateboard, and then watches in horror as a train crumples the man. Now what? Nelson captures the confusion, fear, and despair that alternate with moments of normalcy as the kid tries to pick a path through this labyrinth. Readers will have a visceral reaction to this story, but on a literary level, they'll also appreciate Nelson's clever plotting and spot-on characterizations: the boy's parents' acrimonious divorce adequately explains how the kid escapes adult scrutiny, and his girlfriend, tediously eager to lose her virginity (mission accomplished), seems depressingly real. Nonstop page turning until the surprising conclusion. Ilene Cooper
