Carol Plum-Ucci: The Body of Christopher Creed

If you were to disappear, would anyone care?

Christopher Creed didn’t fit in. He was bullied and excluded and in no way part of the “in” crowd. Creed’s mother, overbearing and clueless to his unhappiness, turns the town upside-down and inside out after her son disappears leaving behind an ambiguous farewell note which sets Torey Adams on a mission to discover what exactly happened to Christopher Creed.

Torey, in his quest for the “truth,” discovers that those around him aren’t interested in anything that goes against their warped perception of reality. In fact, he discovers all of the lies people tell themselves in order to survive, no matter the consequences. If a reader enjoys mystery and/or suspense, this text needs to find him/her as soon as possible.
