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?

Without further ado: 240+ Pages WITH BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHS ~ Kira Sutherland ~ After a near fatal accident (and getting cheated on by her 'boyfriend'), and beating up the lead cheerleader (with whom the boyfriend cheated...), and being labeled as having 'issues' in her school because she, uhm, sees ghosts , Kira is left with two choices: 1. 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...
