HTML: "An engaging, realistic journey into drug addiction and bad decision making. Grosso's Ferocity Summer is a riveting read." Would you rather be dead and know it, or alive and not know it? Scilla Davis is haunted by a horrible accident that she was involved in last summerâ??a drunken, reckless joyride that ended in tragedy. With a big trial looming, life seems empty, unreal, and utterly hopeless. Itâ??s especially painful watching her best friend, Willow, slowly destroy herself with pills and booze. Yet Scilla canâ??t seem to wrest Willowâ??or herselfâ??from a path of self-destruction. But there might be a possible escape from this nightmare. As a dangerous new drug called Ferocity sweeps the nation, an FBI agent asks Scilla to turn narc and help locate the Ferocity kingpin. In exchange, she could avoid conviction for her role in the accident. All she has to do is deceive and betray people sheâ??s known al Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

2. Said older brother may or may not be involved in some illegal dealings with illegal substances.
3. Someone has been going town to town robbing convenience stores.
4. Road trip.
5. An FBI agent with horrible fashion sense.
6. That older brother's ex-college-room mate who knows things. And hates the government. But likes Scilla.
7. And then there's that whole Scilla and her BFF might have killed someone by accident thing.
So that's the deal. And it's all told in tight, unflinching prose that made the book not only compulsively readable and emotionally gripping, but also a literary delight. FEROCITY SUMMER takes teen issues and ups the stakes. Sort of like Laurie Halse Anderson's WINTER GIRLS meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer, minus the supernatural. And the scariest part?
