Too Far. Too Far Rich Shapero Outside Reading PO Box 1565, San Mateo, CA 94401 9780971880139, $1.95, www.richshapero.com When reality seems too cruel to be true, fantasy seems all tootempted. "Too Far" tells the tale of Robbie and Fristeen, twobest friends who in the face of a terrifying home life retreat intotheir own worlds. But as reality catches up and their hideaway in theforests becomes a bit too real as well, the two are forced into a choicethat has serious implications either way they go. "Too Far" isa riveting blend of fantasy and coming of age, highly recommended.
