Welcome to Litsy!

The moment Nicolette lays eyes on the mysterious boy in art class, she knows there�s something different about him At Nicolette Storm�s high school of over two thousand students, everyone has to belong to a group or they are nothing. Nicolette�s place is happily in the Madrigals choir, where she and her friends wear beautiful costumes and sing like angels. But at the beginning of the school year, Nicolette is unexpectedly ousted from the group in favor of a new girl, and feels totally lost. When she signs up for art appreciation as a replacement elective, she meets a dark, mysterious boy. She can�t understand why she is so intensely drawn to the silent, beautiful boy. On the afternoon of their first class together, she finds herself so mesmerized she is inexplicably compelled to follow him home. Or rather, home is where she thinks he is going, until he walks past the town�s houses, past the roads, and into the forest. There is something so innately powerful about him�it�s as if the trees and boulders of the forest rise up to greet him. He is so different, so beautiful, and so . . . inhuman. Will an extraordinary love help Nicolette find herself? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Caroline B. Cooney including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author�s personal collection.
