Jake Riley: Irreparably Damaged Jake Riley is a nice guy. Everyone has a different idea about Jake. Lainey's friends think he's her boyfriend. Lainey's mother thinks he's sad. Lainey's guidance counselor thinks he is a bad influence on her. None of these people really know the truth about Jake. Not even Lainey. By the time Lainey learns the truth about Jake, she no longer has to wonder about one thing. She knows he's dangerous. The friendship between a troubled boy, recently released from a reform school, and the farm girl who lives next door angers the faculty at their school and leads to a dangerous confrontation. In this gripping debut novel, author Davis takes a hard look at some of the most difficult issues facing teenagers today. Once readers know Jake's story, they'll never forget it ... or him. Awards |
