SUMMARY:Northshire Bookstore: Miciah Bay Gault - The Nobody Code - with Meg
 an Mayhew Bergman
DESCRIPTION:Acclaimed author Miciah Bay Gault will return to Northshire to 
 discuss her latest - a spellbinding novel steeped in New England folklore 
 following a woman who leaves her marriage to uncover who’s punishing her
  for the crimes of her adolescence.\n\nOne fateful night in the 1990s\, Di
 nah\, a small-town Vermont teen\, sneaks out on a mission to jump on the n
 eighbor’s forbidden trampoline. There she comes upon a handsome\, seduct
 ive boy named Rex\, who leads a group of underground vigilante teenagers w
 ho call themselves "Nobody." Dinah falls under Rex's sway and joins the gr
 oup. She'll do anything to impress him\, even when it's dangerous. After a
 n incident orchestrated by Rex results in steep repercussions for herself 
 and others\, Dinah leaves the town and her adolescent years behind.\n\nNow
 \, twenty years later\, Rex has long vanished. Dinah is married with a bab
 y and a job at the local zoo. But she is not at peace\, and it seems as if
  someone from the past won’t let her go quietly. When mysterious clues s
 tart appearing\, animals at the zoo go missing\, and an old conspirator ba
 rely survives a suspicious fire\, Dinah’s paranoia gets the best of her\
 , and she takes the baby and drives back to her hometown to investigate. A
 lthough Dinah reunites with old friends\, the forces out to get her make i
 t painfully clear: Dinah must repent and face her enemies alone.\n\n“The
  Nobody Code is that rare feast: a novel that astonishes on every page\, t
 wists and turns with wildness\, beauty\, and delight\, and makes you\, ult
 imately\, question the stories you’ve been told about your life. A myste
 ry that is also about adolescence\, fairy tales\, friendship\, and love\; 
 I read this book with wonder and pleasure and finished it in tears—in aw
 e of this strange\, sublime\, and haunting masterpiece.”— Robin MacArt
