Cathy's book

by Sean Stewart

This is a journal belonging to high school un-enthusiast, Cathy. A smart-alek, sarcastic, independent, "wanna-be" artist whose boyfriend up and leaves her one day. Insulted, angry, and confused, Cathy details her tale of finding out why through her journal. The journal is written so Cathy's best friend, Emma, can find Cathy through using Cathy's story, her clues and "evidence" left in the journal (pictures, receipts, items she found) and Cathy's comments and doodles in the margins and pages of the journal. This book is written to be set with alternative reality game elements and written in a informal manner using text lingo, im chats, and handwritten notes from Cathy.
