Lyga, Barry

Sebastian Cody was only four-years-old when he accidentally shot and killed his infant sister. Now a decade later, he's decided that living with the guilt and sideways stares of others is too much. This, he's decided, will be his last summer. But when he meets Aneesa, a Muslim girl who's new to his neighborhood, everything changes. Finally someone sees him for who he really is and not for his horrific past. But when his past is revealed and a wedge is driven between him and Aneesa, Sebastian finds himself right back where he started--planning to end his life the same way he ended his sister's so long ago.

Ryoko, a character from the manga world, falls through a rip in pages into the real world, where he struggles to survive as an outsider in a typical American high school. Things like his chibi character, thought balloons, and motion lines make that difficult, especially after he meets and falls for Marissa Montaigne.

Feeling awkward and ugly is one of several reasons sixteen-year-old Kevin is uncomfortable with the publicity about his act of accidental heroism, but when a reporter photographs him apparently being unpatriotic, he speaks out and encourages people to think about what the symbols of freedom really mean.

Kyra, who is also known as Goth Girl, returns home from the Maryland Mental Health Unit to find out that things have changed, particularly her friend Fanboy, who has transformed into somebody she barely recognizes, which causes her anger and dark memories to return.
