<p>Set against the backdrop of a child murder in 1930s-era Chicago, three teenagers' lives are about to change dramatically. From different sides of the tracks, Zane and Fred forge a bond through their shared love of cartooning. But Fred quickly realizes that Zane has a dark undercurrent, especially when he violates Maizy, the sturdy but naive working class neighborhood girl whose lack of self-esteem and lifelong love for Zane overwhelm her judgment. Meanwhile, Zane's father harbors a shocking secret that only Maizy and Fred discover, and the events that follow lead all three teens to make difficult, life-changing decisions. Told with compassion and honesty from each teen's perspective, <i>Something Terrible Happened on Kenmore</i> unflinchingly examines love and loss, friendship and sexuality, all significant factors on the path to becoming an adult.</p>
