Synopsis

A group of misfit kids become inseparable friends after a girl they love is murdered in the woods outside of town. When a boy they believe to be the killer begins to terrorize them, the group decides to stop him by any means, and the novel takes a grim turn. The story follows Doug Horolez, a talentless boy hopelessly in love with his only friend, E. Summerson. That's the good news. When E.'s sister is murdered in the woods behind town, Doug joins a group of junior high pariahs--led by an ill and eerily charismatic boy--to solve the girl's mysterious death and to prove his devotion. But as bonds within the group deepen, their methods become cultish and vengeful. Doug must then find his voice and act before the price to be loved becomes unspeakable violence. Goodnight is a coming-of-age novel and literary thriller that investigates recurrent mysteries--loss, loneliness, and the precarious desire to belong.
