Synopses & Reviews
"Our two heroines, twenty-first century mathematicians, out for a thrill on Halloween night, decide to disguise themselves as men—to find themselves in an all-male suicide club run by dropouts from the drug cult of the sixties and seventies. Will they find romance? And just who could be the ghost on the Brooklyn Bridge? "This fantastic story, a brilliant adaptation of a nineteenth century Robert Louis Stevenson classic, is full of spontaneous humor, allusions to Western thought, and unpredictable situations that compel one to read. "In the end, comic relief reveals itself as a great American spirit. "A sort of modern fable with its strong anti-drug message, it holds universal appeal to all readers, especially young adults. Every high school in America should stock this book." —Wayne Kappel, PHD, recipient of the Distinguished Teacher White House Commission on Presidential Scholars award, 1997
