Query Letter: What You Don’t Know…might hurt you…

Below is my query letter for WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW sent out on submisison this year!

WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW might hurt you…

Luke didn’t know. He didn’t know why he got drunk and drove home from a keg party on a Friday night. He didn’t know why he didn’t call his dad to pick him up. Or Sarah or Olivia, who would both do just about anything he asked. What he did know was that it landed him a DUI, complete with a mandatory stint in group therapy. And he didn’t know when he first walked into “group” that he’d meet a girl who’d change his life.

Luke didn’t know the reason Cami from group didn’t talk about home. Or why she never asked him there. He didn’t know why she let a guy ten years older buy her a car, or why he never argued with her about her seeing both guys. He thought he was just along for the ride…until he found out that WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW might hurt you…

Gritty and raw, complete 55,000 word contemporary YA novel WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW is teen literature built for the big screen. Luke is the typical lost high school kid, dealing with his perfect older brother and his parent’s divorce when a DUI exposes more than just one bad decision. While attending group therapy as part of his penalty, he meets Cami, the damsel in major distress hiding behind good looks and a flashy smile. And Luke thought he grew up fast.
