It’s a grim (and often humorous) reality, but they have no choice other than to stick together.Īmnesia is an overly common plot device, but the author uses it effectively to free the boys to explore the city. The night Healy ends up in the hospital with amnesia, each boy realizes that his fate is in the hands of two other convicted offenders he barely knows. Gecko, Terence, and Arjay’s increasingly precarious situation shows how important trust is and how difficult it can be to earn. “To tell you the truth,” Healy tells another counselor, “they remind me of me.” Healy cautiously extends his trust to Gecko, Terence, and Arjay, due to extenuating circumstances in their criminal records, but he also trusts them for more personal reasons. It is also an exploration of trust-how it defines relationships and helps determine people’s futures. From its attention-grabbing setup to its madcap conclusion, The Juvie Three is a spirited, rousing read.
