Maxie and Roddy designed hi-tech mousetraps together while in elementary school. But that was elementary school. In high school everything changes. After the change between schools they don't talk nearly as much. Now Roddy goes by Rick and he is an outcast. Nobody treats him with respect. Since Maxie's high school-best friend Tay finds new friends while snowboarding, Maxie continues to hang out with Rick like in the old days and she notices that he is nice. Maxie wonders if they are more than just friends. Then everything goes terribly wrong.
The book Mousetraps started off rather slow although it got better as I made it through. Pat Schmatz showed me that life isn't perfect for everyone, and if you can, help those kinds of people. Overall I would recommend this book to anybody, boys or girls.
