One Last Scar is out now!
Ethan has been in and out of Juvie, in and out of trouble all of his life. But Ethan had his "rules;" he knew where to draw the line. When a home invasion goes horribly wrong, Ethan knows he has to set things right - even if it means getting one last scar.
Fakie has been nominated for the 2010-2011 Nebraska Golden Sower Award in the young adult category.
Fakie and Outrage are 2009 YALSA Quick Picks for Reluctant Readers!
Fakie:
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."

"Being Michael Madsen"
Michael Madsen stars as Michael Madsen, a famous movie star buckling under the pressures of tabloid rumors ranging from a gay romance to the murder of a young actress. Driven to the end of his rope, Michael Madsen decides it is time to turn the tables on the media and hires a team of documentarians to torment the man behind the rumors, Billy Dant (Jason Alan Smith). The film crew catalogues Dant's life with the same paparazzi flair that has been tormenting Madsen. Included interviews in this mockumentary by David Carradine, Harry Dean Stanton, Daryl Hanna and Virginia Madsen.
