About Freefall
Product Description How do you come back from the point of no return?Seth McCoy was the last person to see his best friend, Isaac, alive, and the first to find him dead. It was just another night, just another party, just another time when Isaac drank too much and passed out on the lawn. Only this time, Isaac didn't wake up. Convinced that his own actions led to his friend's death, Seth is torn between turning his life around . . . or losing himself completely. Then he meets Rosetta: so beautiful and so different from everything and everyone he's ever known. But Rosetta has secrets of her own, and Seth soon realizes he isn't the only one who needs saving . . . From Booklist Sixteen-year-old Seth begins a new year of high school, wracked with guilt over his best friend Isaac’s death during the summer and suffering from stage fright that gets in the way of performing comfortably with his band. In addition, he feels pressure to keep Isaac’s free-spirited former girlfriend at arm’s length while he grows interested in a new girl, who seems out of his league. In a story stocked with full and credible characters, Scott portrays a convincing contemporary world of a teen who is smart but inexperienced, and talented yet uncertain of himself. Class dynamics are cogently communicated through the various characters’ interactions as well as in Seth’s own observations. This is a realistic novel with compelling issues depicted as they are in life—intertwined with one another yet broachable when addressed one at a time rather than relying on any deus ex machina to resolve things in the end. With this first novel, Scott proves herself a formidable talent in the field of YA fiction. Grades 9-12. --Francisca Goldsmith Review "In a genre overloaded with bubble-gum-pink teendom and paranormal dark fantasy full of fangs and fur, Mindi Scott’s debut novel Freefall stands out as fresh, realistic, young adult fiction. Highlighting the dark (and yet acutely relevant) side of high school today, Scott brings to the table heavy issues that are impacting teens with a storyline that reads as real as life itself. With characters that ring true and a journey that proves honest, Freefall is no doubt sure to be one of the best contemporary young adult books of the year." -- New York Journal of Books About the Author Mindi Scott lives near Seattle, Washington, USA with her drummer husband and cats in a house with a non-sound-proof basement.

This was Daniel’s deal. He’d taken the order, contacted a supplier, and set it all up. I was just the sucker he’d roped into driving him for the actual delivery. Which meant, technically, I was also the guy who had the police cruiser riding his ass through town. Just like always. “You know, Dick,” Daniel said, “I’m pretty sure you bring this cop bullshit on yourself.” “Oh yeah?” I kept the steering wheel as steady as I could and stole another glance in the rearview. All I could make out in the dusky darkness were bright headlights and the outline of the light bar on the cruiser’s roof, which—so far—wasn’t flashing. “How do I bring it on myself? By hauling you around everywhere in my brother’s unlucky car?” “No,” Daniel said. “By driving like a paranoid old lady. You’ve got to blend in better on the road. And go faster. You might not realize this, but cops pay close attention when people are under the speed limit too.” “I know that.” What I didn’t know was why Daniel though
