Wild Child: The Mystery of Kayley Bricks | A Novel

Kayley Bricks is without a doubt an anomaly.

You never know what Kayley is doing, where she is going, or even who she is. Everyone around her is constantly confused (and to be honest, a little frightened) by her. She does not speak much to anyone except for herself. She disappears for days at a time and comes back randomly. Dressing girly like a popular girl would, pretty hair and makeup always, soft indie music playing quietly in her headphones, and that "good-girl" look about her, Kayley could very easily be a "normal" girl, but she chooses the life she lives. No one understands her actions. But all of that is about to change.

Chris Knox is without a doubt a freak.

You never know what Chris is doing, where he is going, or even who he is. Everyone around him is constantly frightened (and to be honest, a little confused) by him. He does not speak to anyone, not even himself. He is never home, never at school, never seen in public except for a few days each month. Dressing in all black, tattoos everywhere, piercings, heavy rock and screamo music blasting through his headphones, and that oh-so-typical "emo" glare, Chris is avoided by nearly everyone in their small town. No one understands him. But all of that is about to change.
