(1) YA Scotty is an average high school junior; then she's in a train accident that leaves her autistic younger brother Keone in a coma and her classmate Kris dead. The events unfold in bits and pieces as Scotty comes to terms with what happened. This complexly structured story is refreshingly un-angst-ridden, and Johnson has a gift for showing, not telling.
