As a gun is pointed in her direction, Maddie falls on the subway tracks — with the train in the tunnel only minutes away. Her spiky heel is caught. While she desperately tries to pull it free, her friends look down from the platform, frozen in shock. It is then that a tall man in a ball cap jumps down to save her. Although his face is in the shadows, there’s no mistaking the pale green eyes that stare back at her in terror — they’re just like her own — before all goes black!

Joy Lynn Goddard is one of Canada’s top novelists in the young adult genre. Beginning with the award-winning Daredevils, she has written five coming-of-age novels, a middle-grade novel and a picture book — all filled with action, adventure and characters that inspire even the most reluctant readers from beginning to end. A former journalist, she has had many articles and short stories published and is currently working on an adult anthology — a parody on the real estate industry — with her husband, Dan. She divides her time between Guelph and Prince Edward County, Ontario, where she teaches, writes and spends time with her family.
