Book of the Week: Alibi Junior High (plus a blog link)
My husband Greg Logsted's second novel, a middle grade book called ALIBI JUNIOR HIGH, will be release tomorrow. How can I not make it Book of the Week??? Here's the description:
Thirteen-year-old Cody Saron has never lived in one place longer than a few weeks, and has never attended a regular school. Growing up on the run with his father, an undercover agent for the CIA, Cody has traveled the entire globe; he speaks five languages, and he has two black belts. What Cody isn't prepared for is...junior high.
When the danger surrounding Cody's dad heats up, Cody is sent to stay with the aunt he's never known, Jenny, in her small Connecticut suburb. Cody has no idea how to fit in with other kids, how to handle his first crush, or how to make it through a day of classes.
As Cody struggles to adapt to the one thing he's never experienced -- a normal life -- he starts to fear that his father's world has followed him and no one he loves is safe. Greg Logsted weaves together action, humor, and heart, building to a surprising revelation about what Cody has always believed to be true.
And so you don't think it's just me thinking the book is wonderful, here's what the critics say:
~ Funny and fast paced, this fits right in with the beach-read crowd. (Fiction. 10-14) - Kirkus Review
So please order a copy today!Also this week, over at BiblioBuffet, I have a piece on Betwixt and Between: YA in an Adult World. There's even a contest there to win a free set of the first four books in The Sisters 8 series.
