Otherwood


















Stuey has few friends and is struggling with the death of his grandfather.  When he and Elly strike up a friendship it is almost magical - as she says, they are "soul mates".  They share a birthday and the same special place.  But something strange happens - one day while talking at their place Elly disappears.  Or is it Stuey who disappears?  Both exist in different realities where the other one has disappeared and different things are happening around them.  As time passes they see each other for a few moments here and there.  Of course, everyone else thinks they are crazy.  Can an uncovering of an old rivalry and disappearances bring their realities back together?

This was kind of odd and I slogged my way through most of it.  I ended up liking the last 100 pages or so.  Not sure if my readers will stick with it.
