Inalcanzable

A young girl desperately searches for her missing addict brother while facing her own conflicts in this dark and lyrical novel. Incanzable offers us a realistic view of how substance abuse affects not only those who consume them, but everyone else around them. Rachel has always idolized her older brother Micah. He struggles with addiction, but she tells herself that he’s in control. And she almost believes it. Until the night that Micah doesn’t come home. Rachel’s terrified—and she can’t help but feel responsible. She should have listened when Micah tried to confide in her. And she only feels more guilt when she receives an anonymous note telling her that Micah is nearby and in danger. With nothing more to go on than hope and a slim lead, Rachel and Micah’s best friend, Tyler, begin the search. Along the way, Rachel will be forced to confront her own dark secrets, her growing attraction to Tyler…and the possibility that Micah may never come home.

Una joven lo abandona todo –la escuela, a su familia, a sus amigos, a su novio–. Entra en el mundo de las drogas y de la vida sexual sin recato. Hasta que sucede algo increíble: se convierte en perra.
