Book excerpt: Asgarthus (Az) Anderson, Portland teen, is slowly going blind and there is nothing he or medical science can do to stop it. While he tries to deal with his impending loss of sight, he finds out that he has developed another ability—that of a form of psychometry. In Az’s case, he can see people and events in objects that have been touched by strangers, but only the most recent happenings. His ability amazes and frightens him, and at first, he doesn’t know how to deal with it. His girlfriend, Lynn Wong, is also frightened, but she stands by him as he tries to work through his newfound condition. Things change when the local police as well as the FBI find out about his abilities, and soon, Az is working as a profiler of sorts for them, hunting down criminals. However, another case surfaces, one that baffles Az as well as everyone else. A killer is loose. The authorities have dubbed him the Silent Killer, as he creeps and kills silently and leaves no traces. For some reason, Az can’t get a fix on him, and he doesn’t know why. The killer, though, knows more about Az than is thought possible, and now, Az and Lynn must do everything in their power to avoid becoming his next victims.

In addition to fighting off the various monsters, Charlie tries to fight off his attraction to Sharon…and then he realizes that Sharon is attracted to him, which makes it even more confusing. And when the deadly opponents in the game get the upper hand, Charlie must summon all of his love and courage to save the day and rescue Sharon.

An ALA Best Book for Young Adults A School Library Journal Best Book of the Year Rusty-James wants to be just like his big brother Motorcycle Boy—tough enough to be respected by everyone in the neighborhood. But Motorcycle Boy is also smart, so smart that Rusty-James relies on him to bail him out of trouble. The brothers are inseparable, and Motorcycle Boy will always be there to watch his back, so there's nothing to worry about, right? Or so Rusty-James believes, until his world falls apart and Motorcycle Boy isn't there to pick up the pieces.
