Fakie and Outrage are 2009 YALSA Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers!



NEW INTERVIEW at Teens Read Too with some author guy you might want to read.



Alex Miller can’t forget the things he has seen, and neither can the man he helped put in jail. The Witness Relocation Program has changed Alex’s identity repeatedly, and he and his mother must keep running to stay one step ahead of his enemies. His latest identity as a skateboarder in Virginia Beach is no easy ride – nosegrabs, ollies, and kickflips are all new to him. Alex has to catch on quickly to blend in – but the biggest trick he’ll have to master is staying alive.

"The pace is relentless ... Readers who want fast action, tension and the triumph of the good guys will love this small book."--Resource Links, April 2008

“... urgent pacing and suspenseful plot ... readers will happily power through to the wild-action finish. Perfect for reluctant readers, this enticingly thin book is sure to be a hit.” – Booklist (American Library Assn.), April 2008

Check out Outrage from HIP Books (also a YALSA 2009 Quick Picks, I might add)!



Outrage is part of HIP Books' new teen series for reluctant readers called "The Edge," where four authors write interweaving stories about the fictional town of Edgemont.
Outrage is a fast-paced story about angry 17-year-old Connor, who is framed for a robbery. He's ticked, and he's going to find the guy who framed him--no matter what the cost.

CM Magazine, part of the Manitoba Library Association, gives Outrage 4 out of 4 stars.
"Varrato has created a story that, from its opening line, hooks its readers as they are drawn into Connor’s life."

Who I'd like to meet:

Everyone else who likes books, music, movies, running, kayaking, skiing, swimming,...

    I've been pretty good thanks.  And why on earth would you not be allowed to dress silly this year?  That's utterly ridiculous.  Has Tech fallen apart without me or what?

    Mr. Varrato!  I have not talked to you in the longest time!  How is everything?  What're you going to school as on Friday?
