(2) YA Jason (Freak), Derek (Drip), and Sunshine feel defined by their "alphabets": letters such as ADHD, SED, and SCZI. When Sunshine disappears, Jason and Drip are the prime suspects. Schizophrenic Jason's first-person narration reveals his anguish as distrust of his own mind leaves him fearful of his guilt. Vaught deftly manipulates stereotypes of a broad array of characters in this densely constructed novel.
