JEK/HYDE by Amy Danziger Ross, is an artful contemporary YA retelling of the classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde
retelling of the classic Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr
Hyde.

Lulu and Jek are smart science nerds who are also best friends—or at least they used to be. Lately Jek has been pulling away, just when Lulu thinks she's ready to tell him how she really feels about him. But soon a mysterious new guy starts showing up at local parties. His name is Hyde and he's quickly becoming the talk of the town. Girls can't stay away from him and guys all want to be him. But Lulu can't pinpoint what it is about Hyde that doesn't feel quite right. When rumors float that Jek is getting close to Hyde, Lulu starts to investigate. She knows Hyde has a dangerous secret and Lulu is determined to get to the bottom of things and save Jek before it's too late.

Amy Ross is a master of suspense, and Jek/Hyde delivers. Fast-paced and full of page turners, Jek/Hyde feels anything but familiar. Jek/Hyde brings a literary classic to a new generation, much as Libba Bray's Going Bovine did for Don Quixote or Sara Benincasa's Great for The Great Gatsby.
