About This Book
Dom has had a rough go of things so far. At fourteen, he has the hardened look of someone who's had to fight for everything.
Fred has just moved to Not-The-City, a new place to try to disappear. But he didn't expect to actually make friends. He just hopes he's accepted for how he looks.
When Dom and Fred meet on a hill overlooking a bridge that connects Not-The-City to The City, a place where anyone can be anything they want, the two find a refuge in one another and make a pact: they'll cross the bridge at the end of the school year. They'll be free. What could happen by then? Who will they be? And will the bridge even let them cross?

Okay so
this is how it starts.

This story
Dom
On the third of September.
Fred
Grade 9, fourteen, not fifteen, not yet.
Dom
Here I am—
on the edge of the cliff
with the big white Letters
you can see from far away
like big white teeth,
a beacon, informing the world what’s here, over on this side—
Not-The-City.
Fred
I’m new here—
It’s all lawns, pools, prefab houses, golden retrievers, muscle cars
far as the eye can see.
There’s even a replica rocket that’ll never take off,
right in the middle of the highway.
Help. Me. Please.
Dom
Birds are circling around me.
Hey, guys . . . Knock it off. I’m not a french fry, okay.
I look across the river, at what’s on the other side—factories, promises.
The City.
I’d fly over there if I were like you.
I’m hopeless.
Fred
After we’re moved in, I log on,
looking for a friend.
Dom
School’s called Happy Hills.
The name’s enough to make you hurl.
And just as I’m thinking that—
Fred
Hey. How’s it going?
Pause.
Dom
Who are you, what do you want, I don’t even know you.
Fred
We just got here.
Me, my father, and my brother Bruno.
You in 4-E?
Dom
Oh, God. You too?
Fred
You’re the first person I’ve talked to—I don’t know anything about this place.
Pause.
Dom
Really?
Fred
You wanna be friends?
Dom
I’m warning you—I never laugh, I have no friends,
and I hate everything everyone else likes.
Any questions?
Fred
Several.
First—where can you get
decent shoes around here?
Dom
Don’t tell me someone with actual taste
just moved to Not-The-City?
Fred
Second—where’s the highest spot
to look at the stars?
Dom
Do you have a third?
Fred
Not yet. But it’s coming.
Dom
I tell him I know a place—the big Letters.
At the top of the cliff, close to the bridge,
advertising our disaster of a non-city to the world.
But I’m warning you, the path there is steep, dirty,
and desperate, full of twists and turns, and totally muddy.
You’re gonna scream and swear at the whole world.
Fred
Sounds awesome!
Dom
Yeah, well . . .
Pause.
Okay. Sending you the lo...
