Chasing Shadows is a searing look at the impact of one random act of violence. Before: Corey, Holly, and Savitri are one unitβfast, strong, inseparable. Together they turn Chicago concrete and asphalt into a freerunnerβs jungle gym, ricocheting off walls, scaling buildings, leaping from rooftop to rooftop. But acting like a superhero doesnβt make you bulletproof... After: Holly and Savitri are coming unglued. Holly says she's chasing Corey's killer, chasing revenge. Savitri fears Holly's just running wildβand leaving her behind. Friends should stand by each other in times of crissi. But can you hold on too tight? Too long? In this intense novel, told in two voices, and incorporating comic-style art sections, Swati Avasthi creates a gripping portrait of two girls teetering on the edge of grief and insanity. Two girls who will find out just how many ways there are to lose a friend . . . and how many ways to be lost.
