You know how Twitter is a constant stream of distraction? Well the other day someone had mentioned a book on Twitter that doesn't come out until like JUNE and I couldn't remember the name of it. So I started going through the listings on Amazon by release date, as you do, hoping I'd see it and it would spark my memory. And I stumbled across this:
Following Christopher Creed by Carol Plum-Ucci Harcourt Children's Books September 5, 2010
When Torey Adams posts on his blog that a body has been found in Steepleton—four years after Christopher Creed disappeared—college reporter Mike Mavic sells his laptop and hops a plane to capture the story that will undoubtedly launch his journalistic career.
What Mike finds in Steepleton is not what he expected. Instead he witnesses a town suffering under a cloud of bad frequency: mysterious accidents, a higher than usual cancer rate, and people who are just a little off normal. Everyone remembers the unsolved mystery of Christopher Creed, but to the teenage residents of Steepleton, Chris is nothing more than past history. Yet to his younger brother Justin, his obsession with finding Chris offers hope.
This as yet unidentified body is the only thing that could possibly bring Chris’s former classmates Torey Adams, Bo Richardson, and Ali McDermott back to Steepleton at the same time—and provide Mike with the story of a lifetime: what really happened to Christopher Creed.
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
You may know that I'm a huge fan of The Body of Christopher Creed, one of my forgotten treasures during BBAW and everything. Truly I love that book. But I'm unsure about the idea of a sequel. In fact, at the moment I actively hate the idea of a sequel, and I'm hoping someone can persuade me otherwise.
Have you read The Body of Christopher Creed? What are your thoughts?
(By the way for the truly curious, I discovered which book I was looking for, it's called Forbidden by Tabitha Suzuma and is the kind of book I feel slightly guilty for wanting to read and yet, really want to read!~)

Following Christopher Creed?
Logging you in...
AMY, NO. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN. *WEEPS UNCONTROLLABLY* In my head Chris tracks Torey down, creeps him out, seduces him, they have a weird courtship, fall in love and adopt corgis. I CANNOT HANDLE THIS ANNOUNCEMENT. My headcanon! My precious, precious headcanon. ;___;
I completely agree with you. Perhaps we should pretend it just doesn't exist?
I am weak, though. So clearly I need to suck it up and write some fanfic before it comes out to ease the pain. *g*
Interesting? I don't know. I don't remember The Body of Christopher Creed all that much because I read when I was actually a young adult! I love it when that happens! Except for the fact that I don't remember the book all that much. I'll have to go back and reread it.
It would be an easy reread at least!
I have not read CC......BUT I do want to read Forbidden even knowing it will be shocking and Ill be all torn up because its a YA novel.
Oh that makes me feel better! I think it looks all shocking and intense and that makes me really want to read it!
Hmmm...well I cannot comment on this because I still haven't read Christopher Creed...but you HAVE reminded me that I do need to get on top of doing that ASAP!!
Yes, you MUST! (just ignore those other 450,000 books calling your name. :)
OK, so I just skipped over and read your review of The Body of Christopher Creed, and somehow it ended up in my Amazon shopping cart...
i read the both the books and it has a very nice twist, i don't want to be a spoiler so i wont tell u what happens but tread the book a lot of the characters in the first book who were small play large roles now
