<DIV>&ldquo;<B>Part tangled love story and part love affair with comics&#160;.&#160;.&#160;.&#160;centers on that tenuous bit of time between childhood and adulthood</B>, <B>when anything seems possible.&rdquo; &mdash;<I>Library Journal</I></B><BR /><BR /> Sheila Gower will do anything to get away from small-town nowhere Iowa and her dead-end swing-shift job at a gas station. Right now, all she has is her dreams. So does the cute young stranger who calls himself Peter Parker&mdash;a daredevil cabdriver with an immersive Spider-Man obsession, a gun, and a plan: They&rsquo;ll fake a kidnapping, empty the register, and head for Chicago to complete a mysterious mission. Sheila thinks it&rsquo;s a marvel of an idea. Until the colorful rush of their fantasy getaway collides with reality.<BR /> &#160;<BR /> &ldquo;The literary equivalent of a pop music mashup&#160;.&#160;.&#160;. Inspired by &lsquo;Spider-Man,&rsquo; Westerns, coming-of-age novels and Bonnie and Clyde&rdquo; (<I>Chicago Tribune</I>), <I>The Night Gwen Stacy Died</I> is both &ldquo;superbly suspenseful&rdquo; (<I>Kirkus Reviews</I>, starred review) and &ldquo;sweetly eccentric&rdquo; (<I>The New York Times</I>)&mdash;a love story about loss, mutual rescue, and finding our real identities.</DIV>
