Chasing Brooklyn

Schroeder, Lisa. Chasing Brooklyn, 432 pgs. Simon Pulse, 2010. Language: PG-13 (about 30 swears), Sexual Content: PG, Violence: PG.

Brooklyn is still struggling with the death of her boyfriend, Lucca, a year later. On top of that her deceased friend Gabe begins haunting her dreams. About this time Lucca's brother, Nico, begins to reach out to Brooklyn, becoming the lifeline she needs to move forward.

I don't usually read books written in verse but I'd heard good things about this book so I gave it a try. I liked it. It's told in alternating chapters from Nico and Brooklyn's point of view. HS - ADVISABLE. Rebekah, youth services librarian.
