Twelve year-old Derby Shrewd lives in a divided town. Lights live on the Northside of the Line, Darks live on the Southside. Hillside has been that way ever since the Line appeared naturally from the ground, much like a spring welling up from deep inside the earth.
Now the Line controls the town, keeping Hillside separated, zapping those who come near it and killing those who dare cross it.
But when Derby, a Northsider, finds a pile of bones stacked on the Line, he sets out to uncover the person's identity. While doing so, he befriends a Southside girl and soon begins to challenge the Line and the town's rules. And then, before he can turn back, Derby goes too far.
Congrats!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Tracy!
ReplyDeleteCool! Just got into town after much time away, but will catch up on this soon. Again, cool!
ReplyDeleteSomeone sent me the link to your book on goodreads, and I thought to myself, 'Now that is a middle grade book that I would like to read.'
ReplyDeleteAnd then I saw your name on the cover!
Woo-hoo, Tracy!
I certainly hope that you save a Friday around your pub date for an interview on my blog.
And, really, let me know how else I can help.
Ooh, this sounds so good! Congratulations! I will be looking for it come April. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found you from the comment challenge. Congratulations on your book, it looks great.
