Solicitation:

Life at school is both terrible (pissing off the football team is never a good idea) and wonderful (almost kissing a cute boy is almost perfect), but Olive Silverlock will never be truly happy until she knows her mom is safe. Visiting her in Arkham is supposed to be reassuring! But when Olive meets the man behind the Scarecrow's mask, will her serenity be torn away, too?
