On May 31, Air became available via Barnes & Noble - it's a new YA contemporary novel by Ryan Gattis. What's it about, you ask? Synopsis: When 17-year-old Grey witnesses the tragic death of his mother in Colorado, he is shipped off to live with his aunt in inner-city Baltimore.

Continue her 'therapy' (where she's told the ghost is a hallucination and also gets her legs ogled too often...) Or 2. Go to Starkfield Academy , a boarding school for "Crazies and Convicts" (as the social media sites call them.) She chooses the latter... ~ Cory Rand ~ Cory Rand has not had an easy life. His mother died in a car accident when he was twelve, and so did his mother's best friend...sort of. Y...
