* "[Will] haunt readers as much as the lethal injuries, worsening weather, class friction, and psychological instability the teenagers face." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

About the Author
Paul Griffin loves being out on the waterin a boat with a working engine. Once, when he was a kid, his uncle's leaky old boat stalled. He was adrift less than an afternoon and in the relative safety of Long Island Sound, but this was scary enough to get him looking for higher ground. Now he lives in northern Manhattan, two hundred and fifty feet above sea level. He wrote the novels Ten Mile River, The Orange Houses, Stay With Me and Burning Blue, all for young adults.
