The Collected Works of Gretchen Oyster
by Cary Fagan (Author)

Booktalk: Hartley Staples, near-graduate of middle school, is grappling with the fact that his older brother has run away from home, when he finds a handmade postcard that fascinates him. And soon he spots another.

Who is G.O. and why are they scattering cards about the town?
