Mountain View High has made national news. Three deaths have occurred. Is the school cursed? "Ghosts are only in movies. Aren't they?" Brooklyn's boyfriend and Nico's brother, Lucca, was killed in a car accident while his friend Gabe was driving. One year later Gabe dies of a drug overdose. Jackson died six months before Lucca. Now Brooklyn is having nightmares of Gabe chasing her, and Nico is having visitations from his brother telling him to make sure Brooklyn is alright. Now he is chasing Brooklyn instead of running like he usually does to deal with the pain of his brother's death. Written in free verse, and told in alternating voices ( Brooklyn & Nico), Chasing Brooklyn is a haunting tale of grief, fear, love...and superheroes. "It's not just superheroes who can choose to use their powers for the good of mankind." This book is awesome!
"Love is the answer. Not fear."
"Music can be like a time machine. One song - the lyrics, the melody, the mood - can take you back to a moment in time like nothing else can."
