“Forget the mean streets. In High & Dry, the classrooms and hallways offer plenty of intrigue and danger. Sarah Skilton cleverly blends the best and scariest parts of senior year — first love, changing friendships, growing up— with a twisting, turning, didn’t-see-it-coming mystery.”
— Kimberly Reid, author of MY OWN WORST FRENEMY
