Utopia, Iowa/recently listed

[Brian]

This is small town urban fantasy. Hope you'll consider adding it to your to-read list if it sounds interesting to you. Thanks. Utopia, Iowa People are strange in Utopia, Iowa, but stranger things than people live there. YA, supernatural, mystery... In some ways this is a story about an average teenage boy with normal teenage problems: school problems and girl problems and a dream that he wants to pursue but is afraid of pursing. But there's also the fact that he sees ghosts, comes from a family that sees ghosts, lives in a town where supernatural events are common, and finds himself at the center of an investigation into the death of two dead girls because those two dead girls are pressuring him to find out how they died. Lots going on, and many threats to his safety and well-being, but at its heart this is the novel about a boy who wants to write for the movies and knows he will have to leave his hometown, family, and friends to pursue that dream.
