Book excerpt: Samantha Green has just spent an entire year in her pajamas, and she is beginning to regret it. What's more, she is haunted by four ghosts that are former versions of herself. First up is the overachieving and materialistic attorney, who is furious with Samantha for throwing away the career she worked so hard to build. Second is the lackadaisical college student who is high on life but low on responsibility. Next is the melodramatic teenager, who is consumed with her social standing, teal eyeliner and teased bangs. Finally, there is the scrappy six-year old, whose only objective is to overcome gravity so that she can fly. Samantha's ghosts alternate between fighting with each other, rallying around Samantha's budding sanity and falling in love with a string of good-for-nothing drummers. Despite her reluctance to do so, Samantha must rely on these spirits from the past to repair the present and ensure her future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[An] absorbing novel that will appeal to fans of Rainbow Rowell.” —Booklist “A poignant and carefully crafted story.” —School Library Journal “A gorgeous, sad, funny, and wise book about letting go and finding your place in the world.” —Kathleen Glasgow, New York Times bestselling author of Girl in Pieces Parker struggles to reconnect with her twin brother, Charlie—who’s recovering from cancer—as she tries to deal with her anxiety about the future in this powerful new novel. Twins Parker and Charlie are polar opposites. Where Charlie is fearless, Parker is careful. Charlie is confident while Parker aims to please. Charlie is outgoing and outspoken; Parker is introverted and reserved. And of course, there’s the one other major difference: Charlie got cancer. Parker didn’t. But now that Charlie is officially in remission, life couldn’t be going better for Parker. She’s landed a prestigious summer internship at the hospital and is headed to Harvard in the fall to study pediatric oncology—which is why the anxiety she’s felt since her Harvard acceptance is so unsettling. And it doesn’t help that her relationship with Charlie has been on the rocks since his diagnosis. Enter Finn, a boy who’s been leaving strange graffiti messages all over town. Parker can’t stop thinking about those messages, or about Finn, who makes her feel free for the first time: free to doubt, free to make mistakes, and free to confront the truth that Parker has been hiding from for a long time. That she keeps trying to save Charlie, when the person who really needs saving is herself.

Download or read book Necrotrivia Vs Skull written by Jeremy Gluck and published by Chipmunkapublishing ltd. This book was released on 2011-06-01 with total page 147 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DescriptionWritten under the pen name Jeremy Clarke and originally published in 1988 to critical acclaim and strong sales, ""Necrotrivia vs. Skull"" is a scathing but playful satire of Western culture and materialism, its addictions and collective mental instability. ""Necrotrivia"" provides an interesting, fictional contrast to Jeremy's memoir, ""Victim of Dreams,"" also available from Chipmunka. Indeed, ""Necrotrivia's main character, an alien who develops a junk food addiction and ends up a copywriter whoring a narcotic breakfast cereal, is in a way a prophetic cipher of the author, whose experiences and bipolar battles he mimics. Now accorded cult status, this new edition of the book features original graphics by Birmingham animator Aston Walker. About the AuthorJeremy Gluck is an expatriate Canadian who, with a parallel, successful life in the arts as a novelist, poet, musician lyricist, journalist and more, is now working in the voluntary mental health sector. Diagnosed some years ago with bipolar disorder, he has since written two books around mental health, the first a memoir, "Victim of Dreams," and the second "A Definitive Guide to Mental Health Recovery," a personal consideration of routes to recovery that includes contributions from a variety of expert thinkers on the subject. The reappearance after twenty years of his first book, the satirical novel "Necrotrivia vs. Skull," brings this highly creative artist's published work full circle.
