Synopsis

Although When the Leaves Fall is an adventure story, it is also a story about recovery. Seventeen year old Corey, controlled by peer pressure and addiction, develops the courage to change, which results in renewed self-esteem and learning to take control of his life."First there was Anne. Then there was Stephanie, and Steve and the others. But this is really a drama about what it means to come home. It all begins early one morning in a cold, dark cave." Recipient of a 2008 Mom's Choice Award, this book is "an especially well written novel for teens that would be a welcome and popular addition to any school or community library fiction collection" (Midwest Book Review)

About this title

From the Publisher

"Then, without warning, he felt something hard against his back. Suddenly, a light flashed on and Corey saw the gleam of a knife. A hand caught him in an iron grip. I mustn't panic, he thought. Terrified, he wrenched free, then turned to head for the back of the cave. Later he was surrounded by complete darkness. He was all alone."
