NOSE DIVE is a light-hearted teen mystery about Celia Pratchett, New York City high school student, whose head is literally filled with the sound of music. Blessed with a huge singing voice but cursed with an equally huge nose, Celia is thrilled, at first, by the news that her school's annual musical is slated to be a TV reality show, until she realizes that huge noses and TV close-ups just do not go together. Hoping to change her life and profile, Celia follows her nose through danger, darkness, and fallen Goudas, trailing love, truth and the pursuit of harmony.

Karin Gustafson's first book of poetry moves across a wide emotional and formal range, from playfulness to nostalgia, villanelle to free verse. The poems, evocatively illustrated by Diana Barco, are "reminders that nights sown by fireflies" are "going on somewhere, sometime."
