Brand new book Creepers by Keith Gray.  A first American edition 5.75 x 8.5 inch hardcover with dust jacket published by Putnam.  Overview:  Jamie was the best Creeper at school.  He could sneak through more yards than anyone else without being caught.  He was fast and hardly made any noise.  I was surprised when he wanted to Creep with me.  I was pretty good, but with Jamie I felt like I could climb over any fence and never get caught.  Then we decided to do Derwent Drive--the longest Creep in the village.  You had to move so fast, most of the way along you didn't have time to think.  We were more than halfway down when it happened.  I went Haywire.  I just freaked out.  I don't know why.  I'd handled big dogs before, but this time I lost it.  I can't believe I did that.  I got away, but Jamie was Snared!  The police came!  What am I going to do now?  And what's going to happen to Jamie?  A brilliant first novel about friendship, courage, and loss.
