(Harmony Ink Press, Feb. 20, 2014)
With a foreword by C. KennedyOne October morning, high school junior Bryan Dennison wakes up a different personâhelpful, generous, and chivalrousâa person whose new admirable qualities he doesnât recognize. Stranger still is the urge to tie a red sheet around his neck like a cape.Bryan soon realizes this compulsion to wear a red cape is accompanied by more unusual behavior. He canât hold back from retrieving kittens from tall trees, helping little old ladies cross busy streets, and defending innocence anywhere he finds it.Shockingly, at school, he realizes he used to be a bully. Heâs attracted to the former victim of his bullying, Scott Beckett, though he has no memory of Scott from before âthe change.â Where heâd been lazy in academics, overly aggressive in sports, and socially insecure, heâs a new person. And although he can recall behaving egotistically, he cannot remember his motivations.Everyone, from his mother to his teachers to his âsuperjockâ former pals, is shocked by his dramatic transformation. However, Scott Beckett is not impressed by Bryanâs newfound virtue. And convincing Scott heâs genuinely changed and improved, hopefully gaining Scottâs trust and maybe even his love, becomes Bryanâs obsession.
