YA
Lucy loves the strange, profound work of Shadow, an elusive graffiti artist. She and Ed, a boy she once punched, go on an all-night adventure to find the artist. Their discussions about art and their analysis of Shadow's work are exceptionally sharp. Alternating first-person chapters featuring gritty, compelling prose follow the two teens as they make discoveries about themselves along the way.
