Jasper in Deadland
by Hunter Foster, Ryan Scott Oliver
Highlights
Synopsis
Jasper is lost in the living world.
When you’re failing classes, kicked off the swim team, and your family is on the skids, life can feel like it’s going to hell.
Yet, in all the disappointment, Jasper has his best friend, Agnes.
In one night of teenage passion, Jasper and Agnes consummate a years-long friendship.
But in the morning Agnes is gone, telling Jasper to meet her at their cliff.
When he arrives there’s no sign of his best friend, only a swirling vortex to another world in the water below.
Jasper dives into Deadland.
Jasper in Deadland features a thrilling pop-rock score from Ryan Scott Oliver, with a compelling book by Hunter Foster.
