Reading Level: Young Adult
(4 out of 5)
Fade to Black is told alternately by three voices.
The facts: Alex Crusan is an HIV-positive student, and while he is sitting in his car he is attacked by an unknown assailant wielding a baseball bat. Alex is taken to the hospital with multiple injuries.
The suspect: Clinton Cole was seen by a witness riding his bike around the time and area of the attack. He has harassed Alex at school but he would never do something like that. Would he?
The witness: Daria Bickell never lies. She told the police she saw Clinton do it, so she must be telling the truth. But did she really see Clinton do it?
The victim: After the windshield shattered Alex ducked under the steering wheel. He knows what he saw and must decide what he wants to tell.
I liked this book. The three alternating voices was a nice change in pace and Daria's chapters were done in verse.
