Angelique Burrell

With an English teacher as a father and a librarian as a mother, it’s no surprise that Angelique grew up loving to read. Now, she teaches high school English and creative writing in Hinsdale, working to bring her love of reading and writing to high school students.

A Mark in the Road

Every tire track tells a story. At least that's what accident experts say. And there's no better expert than eighteen-year-old Mason. Mason dreads the skid marks left by braking tires. Every mark - every near miss, dead animal, injured person - plays like a soundless documentary in his mind. When Mason's on-again-off-again crush Addie begs him to drive cross-country to help her move, he must face what he thought was his greatest fear - the open road. But a tire mark left near a missing woman's car on the Loneliest Road in America changes everything. ​As Mason searches for clues, he and Addie drive closer to trouble and risk losing everything.

Can his strange gift finally serve a purpose?

Can he race against the clock and drive 2,000 miles before the skid mark disappears?

This clean YA speculative thriller will take readers on a journey of acceptance, courage, and strength in the face of the unknown.
