Sorry I've missed his other two YA books - Down the Rabbit Hole and Lights Out. I instantly bonded with the main character, Cody, as he struggles with a bad home life and not much money. His girlfriend Clea is at the other end of the socio-economic ladder, she's rich. She gets a bad grade and her father removes her from this small town high school and sends her to an elite school out east. Cody leaves home when he finds out she's missing and can't be found. He arrives in the small Vermont town and starts searching. What makes this book interesting is that it constantly shifts who is good and who isn't. Just when you think you know who the good guys are, Abrahams stirs things up.
