Jojo ha regresado de la cárcel, y la tensión y el miedo entre los vecinos vuelven a crecer. Se preguntan si algún día se toparán con Jojo en la calle y si él les hará alguna maldad o los agredirá solo por diversión. Los vecinos desearían que Jojo se fuera lejos y no regresara nunca más. Pero hay quienes desean algo aún peor para Jojo. Algo realmente malo.

Ardell Withrow es uno de ellos.

"Back is sure to satisfy Norah McClintock fans as well as teens looking for an authentic urban experience in a well-told, accessible story. It is also an excellent choice for read-aloud. Highly Recommended."

– CM: Canadian Review of Materials
"Perfect for reluctant readers up for some soul-searching."
– Booklist
"Fits the Orca Soundings template to perfection. It is suspenseful and plot-driven, and written in a neutral way that leaves much to the inference of the reader. It covers strong, current issues with realistic language."

"This short but powerful story explores the topic of forgiveness and redemption from the perspective of a bystander who renames nameless and genderless...This is a good morality tale that will have reluctant readers thinking about how they would react in a similar situation. Recommended."
– Southwestern Ohio Young Adult Materials Review Group (SOYAMRG)
"Bullying and revenge are common themes in young adult literature, but author Norah McClintock gives these classic themes an updated twist...The experiences in the book are ones to which almost any reader will relate."
