Publisher's Synopsis
This is the Emerald City Chapter Book, which Myra Doom considers her best. It starts quietly enough with the cousins, driving back from a night at the dance club. Three free-spirits in the stolen car cruising faster and faster to the Hatful of Hollow album roaring out to the Southlands on the old highway and back hill roads where there are no cops. Suddenly, a mighty whirlwind of glass and metal fly our narrater into near death. What follows is a whole lot of restoration: body and soul. The cousins are catatonic, and Myra, along with her tiny passenger-mouse inside her pocket, are miraculously kept safe, but for some ribs and head injuries. (To this day Myra believes that the ghosts of the highway's dead preserved them that night it all went down) Myra leaves the high school behind and seeks her GED and a way out of the drug-induced terrors she has realized the past few years. For sensitive readers, this brews a hardcore crash and comes with a warning. As you might have imagined from Chapter Book Six, Myra Doom is bent on getting into and out of specific, hopeful dreams and troubles. An exciting reception greets our adventurers upon returning one last time from Emerald City.
