<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Accompanied by her brother's friend, Tyler, 16-year-old Rachel ventures through San Diego and nearby areas seeking her brother, 18-year-old Micah, a methamphetamine addict who ran away from home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>How do you find someone who doesn't want to be found? A girl searches for her missing addict brother while confronting her own secrets in this darkly lyrical novel, a National Book Award Finalist.</b> <p/>Rachel has always idolized her older brother Micah. He struggles with addiction, but she tells herself that he's in control. And she almost believes it. Until the night that Micah doesn't come home. <p/>Rachel's terrified--and she can't help but feel responsible. She should have listened when Micah tried to confide in her. And she only feels more guilt when she receives an anonymous note telling her that Micah is nearby and in danger. <p/>With nothing more to go on than hope and a slim lead, Rachel and Micah's best friend, Tyler, begin the search. Along the way, Rachel will be forced to confront her own dark secrets, her growing attraction to Tyler...and the possibility that Micah may never come home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>* "Arcos paints a complex, honest, devastating portrait of what it means to watch someone you love turn into a stranger. The result is an empathetic, highly readable tale that captures the messy dynamics of sibling relationships, the pain and powerlessness of addiction from a loved one's perspective, and, in an ending that brilliantly mingles loss and hope, the necessity of letting go."<P><br><br>"A powerful debut."<br><br>"Ellen Hopkins fans will find another look at methamphetamine addiction in this quick, realistic debut. "<br><br>"Teens affected by drug use may see their own experiences reflected in Rachel's story. Recommend this to readers of Ellen Hopkins' similarly themed novels in verse."<br>
