Xing Xu is one of two Asian students at Slackenkill High School. He is quiet and withdrawn, doing anything he can to blend into the crowd. His loneliness is palpable. His best friend is Naomi Lee, the other Asian student, and even though she moved to the U.S. after Xing, she is assimilating faster. She speaks English better, makes straight A's, even has a boyfriend. When students at their high school begin to disappear, then show up dead, Xing finds himself in a position to see things that others in the high school don't see. He sets out to solve the mystery even as he suffers negligence both at home and at school.
Crossing is a page-turning suspenseful mystery. The chilling ending will haunt you for quite some time after you finish reading the book!
