More Description A teen develops a gambling addiction in this risk-heavy read--in trade paperback for the first time.
Sixteen-year-old Denn Doyle's troubles begin with a seemingly harmless--and extremely profitable--game of poker with some neighborhood kids.

His "hobby" progresses to a habit and then to an addiction that threatens relationships with his parents, girlfriend, and best friend.
