"Ask the Dark will keep you up all night, and its flawed, real hero will haunt your day. I wish I'd written it." --Michael Grant, New York Times best-selling author of Gone and BZRK

Billy Zeets has a story to tell. About being a vandal and petty thief. About missing boys and an elusive killer. And about what happens if a boy who breaks all the rules is the only person who can piece together the truth.

Gripping and powerful, this masterful debut novel comes to vivid life through the unique voice of a hero as unlikely as he is unforgettable.

"Ask the Dark is absolutely remarkable. Readers will line up for this one."--Michael Cart, past president of YALSA and ALAN
