Obie hates Los Angeles and all the junk that goes with it-especially trying to fit in at Thomas Turney High School. But with bounty hunters trying to capture him, his Renegade roommates urge him to lay low with his band and forget about ever getting back hoome. it's hard to blend in at school, though, when you've just made enemies with the football team. Obie can't keep away from Allison, the most popular girl in school and the girlfriend of the star quarterback, Sledge. And when his true love, Inna, shows up and pleads for his help, Obie must return to the one place he fears most.

About this title

Reviews

Grade 8 Up–Being a Visigoth warrior from another dimension does not make it easier for Obie when the bullies attack him at school, but as the immortal 15-year-old tries to conform to modern-day Los Angeles, he finds the constrictions on his powers frustrating. When his evil aunt kidnaps his roommate, Obie travels back to rescue Berto and find his mother's rune stones. Combining gorgeous guys, runic spells, and time travel in a readable and thrilling way, Ewing is set to have another successful series in the vein of her "Daughters of the Moon" books (Hyperion). Reluctant readers up to the most sophisticated teen bibliophiles will be eagerly awaiting the next installment.–Lynn Evarts, Sauk Prairie High School, Prairie du Sac, WI
