Candy

Kevin Brooks is at the top of his YA game in this "provocative, suspenseful"

(Booklist) novel. Now in a dynamic new Kevin Brooks repackaging! When Joe

meets Candy, it seems like a regular boy-meets-girl scenario. They chat over

coffee, she gives him her number, and he writes her a song. But then Joe is

drawn into Candy's world --- a world of drugs, violence, and desperation. As

the dark truth about Candy's life emerges, Joe finds himself facing real

danger at every twist and turn. Soon Joe's conflicting emotions begin to

mirror Candy's, and he understands that falling in love just might be worth

the struggle. This intoxicating tale of heartache, danger, and hope will

enthrall teen readers.
