CURRENTLY QUERYING

For fourteen-year old Jules Barrett, solving quadratic equations is easy. Not so much navigating her parents’ crumbling marriage, the fact that her best friend is now a mean girl minion, and the reality that her older sister, Jane’s, depression is getting worse. Playing small is the only way she can see to survive her chaotic reality, but her coping strategy implodes when Jane dies by suicide. Adrift in the aftermath and desperate to understand Jane’s decision, Jules sets out to retrace Jane’s last days. 

As Jules discovers the darker corners of her sister’s life, she’s joined by an unexpected ally—Noah, Jane’s mysterious friend who showed up at Jane’s funeral. But as they chase Jane’s ghost into a counterculture scene of secrets and substances, Jules begins to wonder about Noah’s true motivations in helping her. And when she discovers that he played a part on the night Jane died, she’ll have to come face to face with the fact that Jane’s world was more dangerous than anyone knew—and that if she ventures too far into the darkness, there may be no getting back.

Fifteen-year-old Liv Vale’s life has imploded. Her mom moved them from middle-of-everything Chicago to middle-of-nowhere Cleveland. And because of that, her band The Catacombs replaced her with no-talent Asher. And because of that, she officially won’t be taking the stage at Riot Fest. But things start to look up when she meets her neighbors: eleven-year-old Peregrine and seventeen-year-old Miles. Maybe The Catacombs aren’t the only road to rock infamy after all. P.S. falcons are involved.
