Finding Zach Farmer

(Ages 14+) High school freshman Zach Farmer disappeared on October 31st, the day everyone forgot he existed. No clues were left behind, and nobody can find him. Now, the two friends who forgot Zach when he needed them most are attempting to remake their lives in the aftermath of his bizarre disappearance, for which they feel remarkable guilt. Ada, a girl who got into some trouble with a bad-news upperclassman, and Evan, a sophomore who turns to disturbing means of relief when his passion for theater is stifled, regret forgetting to meet Zach on the last night of October, when he insisted their coming was a matter of life and death. Their hesitant decision to figure out what actually happened to their friend leads them to the brink of madness and, at last, to the incredulous truth about their lost friend.
