One girl. One boy. And a friendship that could save them both. Good-girl Kat knew drinking alcohol at school would come with serious consequences. But in preventing her friend from being expelled, she didn't expect to land herself a term's worth of detentions. While serving her time, she meets a strange boy who obsessively draws dark pictures and covers his head with a grey hoodie. As an unlikely friendship forms inside the detention room, outside Kat's world begins falling apart. But when she discovers the truth about this strange boy's past, her troubles suddenly seem insignificant. She somehow feels compelled to help him-but at what cost? And how much is she willing to risk in order to keep him safe? The Boy in the Hoodie is a real, unforgettable story about how friendships can bring healing, fade scarring, and open new wounds all at the same time.
