Black Rabbit Summer by Kevin BrooksAZ: "Pete Boland was busy doing nothing that summer. Long, stiflingly hot, lazy days stretched ahead of him. Then she called. 'Listen, Pete . . . you know that funfair, up at the recreation ground . . . I thought we could all meet up . . . You know, for old times' sake.' But, where there are old times, there are old tensions. And as secrets, bitterness and jealousies resurface, five old friends are plunged into the worst night of their lives"
Brooks is an extremely powerful writer for teenagers and this was a really good read, I wanted to know the outcome so much, but was hugely disappointed plotwise. There are 2 strands with two people disappearing, a popular beautiful girl and the narrators best friend, a damaged boy who believes he is talking to his pet rabbit. The mystery about the girl is solved but the boy, the one I really wanted to know what happened to, remains lost. Maybe that's the point!
