Jordan's Run

Jordan Court is "that new girl". She has moved again, this time into the contemporary master-planned community of Birnam, a high tech gated paradise for upper-middle class families seeking good schools for their kids, a super-sized version of the American dream, and the safety and social status of a new suburban enclave for their neuroses.

Starting her senior year at Birnam High School, Jordan has only one goal: to go off to college as far away from her father as she can-and to never come back. But she'll need more than her usual good grades, athletic accomplishments, extra-curriculars, and sky-high test scores to do it.

Will Johnson, also a senior, has hard work ahead of him, too. A basketball player who's never quite lived up to his own expectations, he no longer knows how, if, or even why going to college makes any sense. But nothing else makes any sense either.

Part thriller, part romance, part coming of age story, part paranormal mystery, part near-future dystopic sci-fi, "Jordan's Run" is about that "What do I do now?" feeling so many kids experience in their last year of high school-and the myriad pressures they struggle with placed upon them by parents, teachers, friends, society, and themselves.
