BREAK MY HEART 1,000 TIMES
by Daniel Waters
Disney/Hyperion, October 2012 

Living in the aftermath of the Event means that seeing the dead is now a part of life, but Veronica wishes that the ghosts would just move on. Instead, the ghosts aren’t disappearing—they’re gaining power.
When Veronica and her friend, Kirk, decide to investigate why, they stumble upon a more sinister plot than they ever could have imagined. One of Veronica’s high school teachers is crippled by the fact that his dead daughter has never returned as a ghost, and he’s haunted by the possibility that she’s waiting to reappear within a fresh body. Veronica seems like the perfect host. And even if he’s wrong, what’s the harm in creating one more ghost?

Daniel Waters is the author of the Generation Dead series.

 

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: HUGE PAIN IN MY… de Adam Mansbach et Alan Zweibel

The hilarious middle-grade debut of the author of GO THE F**K TO SLEEP

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: HUGE PAIN IN MY…
by Adam Mansbach and Alan Zweibel
Hyperion, September 2015

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN: HUGE PAIN IN MY… introduces us to 13-year-old Franklin Isaac « Ike » Saturday, who lives an uneventful life (save for having the worst stepfather on the planet). Then his history teacher assigns a fateful project: each student must write to the historical figure of their choice as a pen pal. Ike decides to write to Benjamin Franklin (whom he was named after) and duly completes the assignment — but after he presents it in class, he steals one of his stepfather’s prized 1770s-era stamps and mails his letter to Benjamin Franklin as a practical joke.

Ike forgets all about the incident until he receives a letter with a similarly old stamp…and with a return address from a « B. Franklin » in Philadelphia. What follows is an imaginative, riotously funny exchange of letters between an awkward teenager and a revered statesman who offers him his legendary advice on family, friends, enemies, girls, and everything in between.

Adam Mansbach is the New York Times Bestselling author of GO THE F**K TO SLEEP, which was translated in over 30 languages.

Alan Zweibel is a former “Saturday Night Live” writer and the author of LUNATICS, co-written with Dave Barry.
