Chris Crutcher uses characters from previous books for these three short stories. He intertwines all three stories and yes they do focus on anger. The first story focuses on Sarah Byrnes (one of my favorite characters) and Angus Bethune. These two connect and together they search for Sarah's mom. (Sarah's mom did NOT stop Sarah's dad from pushing her face into the potbelly stove.) The second story focuses on Montana West who takes on the school board so she can print her article(s) in the school newspaper. Montana is not one to avoid controversial topics. In addition, her father is the president of the school board. The final story deals with prejudice and it is very tragic for Marcus James.
