Riley Park By Diane Tullson

Today’s Feature Book of Color Pick of the day is from Diane Tullson who has written a heart wrenching young adult novel with Riley Park. Best friends Corbin and Darius are your average teenage boys, constantly thinking about girls, parties, and having fun. Corbin has a crush on Safeway cashier Rubee. But, Rubee has a boyfriend, or had a boyfriend, neither boy can be sure. Darius invites her to a party at Riley Park, the popular hangout spot.

However, a carefree night takes a horrific turn when the two friends are surrounded by a group of three masked strangers with crow bars. After brain surgery, Corbin wakes up in the hospital confused and asking for Darius. The nurse breaks it to him gently, Darius is dead. Now, Corbin must try to regain his memory and learn to live life without his best friend.
