Request #552 From karenl

I’ve always wanted to find a book that I probably read in Jr. High, in 1983 or so. The plot is about a family who moves to a small town and follows a teen who is trying to fit in. There is a menacing boy / family who lives near by – I think the boy / teen has red hair. There is a terrible scene where he, and maybe his friends or brothers, drag someone to death behind a car /truck.
