Miles is haunted. Haunted by grief at the disappearance of his little brother, Teddy. By the black crows that torment his waking hours. By Eliza, the girl who stole his heart and played with it. Desperate to move on, Miles is determined to find out what happened to his brother, rid himself of the crows, and set things straight with Eliza. But on top of it all, Miles has schizophrenia, a disease that blurs the line between reality and fantasy; that causes his world to close in on him as he tries to push it open. From the ‘New York Times’ bestselling author of “Tweak”, this is a fascinating and ultimately quite hopeful story of one teen’s downward spiral into mental illness.
