About the Book

Knockout Games is set in modern day St. Louis amidst a disturbing rash of seemingly random attacks on bystanders by a group of urban teenagers in a crew called the TKO club. The protagonist, Erica, is one of a few girls who is down with TKO in part due to her natural skill with a video camera and her ability to make art out of the attacks.

Review :

"Neri skillfully portrays the moral and emotional turmoil of a teen desperate for acceptance. Racial and social undercurrents further give this story an intense, thought-provoking edge."

-- "Publisher's Weekly"

"The indispensable Neri...delivers another strong shot to the chin with this bracing look at the initiations of sex and violence."

-- "Booklist"

"The results are thrilling... the author's meaty ideas and exciting action sequences blend together perfectly. Harsh and relentless, a tough but worthy read."

-- "Kirkus Reviews, starred review "
