Why is it a pick?

When her father is robbed and killed by a drunken drifter, 14 year old Mattie Ross finds that she must see to the matter personally if the killer is come to justice. A deceptively simple vengeance tale, the book transcends the Western genre with a cast of layered characters starring tough, practical but naïve Mattie, and some of the best dialog you're likely to find in any novel.
