Mousetraps
Back in grade school, Maxie and Rick were best friends. Rick would design crazy inventions, and Maxie, the artistic one, would draw them. Then something terrible happened to Rick, and he vanished from her school and her life. Years later, he shows up at Maxie’s high school. In some ways he’s the same person she once knew. But in other ways – frightening ones – he’s very, very different . . .

Reviews
Kirkus Reviews
“Rick and Maxie’s thought-provoking story, juxtaposed against Hauser’s renderings of Maxie’s cartoons, is unexpectedly, richly dark, with no easy answers. Both chilling and sweet.”
—Kirkus Reviews
Library Media Connection
“The dialogue zips along as Maxie’s struggles with her conscience and comes to an understanding of what friendship really means. For mature middle school and high school students, the dialogue and issues presented will ring true and reflect the difficulties faced when determining the right action to take. Recommended.”
