The Packing House - G Donald Cribbs - Bog

"When sixteen-year-old Joel Scrivener has a raging nightmare in study hall and someone records it on their phone, he awakens to a living nightmare where everyone knows the secret he's avoided for ten years. Reeling from a series of bullying incidents posted on YouTube and an ill-timed mid-year move, Joel takes to the woods, leaving the bullies and his broken home behind. However, life as a runaway isn't easy. Joel finds it difficult to navigate break-ins, wrestle hallucinations, and elude capture. He races to figure out who his dream-world attacker could be, piecing clues together with flashes of remembered images that play endlessly inside his head. Besides these images, the one constant thought occupying Joel's mind is Amber Walker, the girl he's been in love with for years. Amber sees little beyond the broken boy Joel has become, despite the letters they've written back and forth to each other. But Joel is stronger and more resilient than he looks, and it's time he convinces Amber of this fact, before he runs out of chances with her for good."--Publisher's description.
