Download or read book Dead End in Norvelt written by Jack Gantos and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2011-09-13 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dead End in Norvelt is the winner of the 2012 Newbery Medal for the year's best contribution to children's literature and the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction! Melding the entirely true and the wildly fictional, Dead End in Norvelt is a novel about an incredible two months for a kid named Jack Gantos, whose plans for vacation excitement are shot down when he is "grounded for life" by his feuding parents, and whose nose spews bad blood at every little shock he gets. But plenty of excitement (and shocks) are coming Jack's way once his mom loans him out to help a fiesty old neighbor with a most unusual chore—typewriting obituaries filled with stories about the people who founded his utopian town. As one obituary leads to another, Jack is launced on a strange adventure involving molten wax, Eleanor Roosevelt, twisted promises, a homemade airplane, Girl Scout cookies, a man on a trike, a dancing plague, voices from the past, Hells Angels . . . and possibly murder. Endlessly surprising, this sly, sharp-edged narrative is the author at his very best, making readers laugh out loud at the most unexpected things in a dead-funny depiction of growing up in a slightly off-kilter place where the past is present, the present is confusing, and the future is completely up in the air.

Book excerpt: There arent too many humans who go through their daily lives aware that there are two worlds here, the human existence and the Demons. Demon are everywhere, some even live amongst humans. There are only two species that are made, Vampire and Lamiahaem, the others, Jorgenhan, Changelings, Sirens, Casanovas, Witches and Warlocks are born or hatched, and they have normal life cycles. Magic plays a big part in our world, there are many humans who find that they can make things happen without being able to explain these happenings, the ones that are strong are generally found and recruited into our world, by the Guard. We had visited with many of these Witches and Warlocks. One family in particular always stood out, the Howard family. Their magic was powerful; nothing had ever measured up to them in all of my years. The matriarch of the family, decided not to join us, she stayed in the human world. Her granddaughters though we would watch from a distance. The Guard are soldiers for the Elders. There are seven Elders, in each sector, and there are three sectors, that keep the world covered. The reason there are seven is to ensure that all main Demons are represented. It is very rare that they ever get together, it has only happened once in my lifetime and that was in the very beginning when they first came to be. The Elders are our law; they are the ones who stop all unnecessary murders/slaughter being done to humans by our kind. They keep harmony. There is only one punishment, imprisonment followed by death. In our sector the lead Elder is my maker, my father, Elder Thomas Carter, he is a Lamiahaem. Lamiahaem are very passionate Demons, if we were not part of the Guard we would be living peacefully in our large family groups. Our species are not naturally aggressive, we have had to learn to adapt to a violent world. We are made and we make our partners, these are always humans that have magical gifts. When we meet that partner it is for life, this is natural for us. It is hard to explain the magnetic pull that you have when you first meet your mate; this love is also experienced by the human. There is only one mate for you, if that is denied you will recover and eventually meet another, but it can take some time. I have been Lamiahaem since 1554, my name is Simon. My father Thomas Carter lost his mate in a fight with vampire before he made me. He still cannot explain why he felt the need to change me, only to say that he noticed my gift of being able to feel illness and injuries and to know how to heal. Father believed that I would be useful to his world. We were in Newcastle in 1635, I was with the Guard. There were Renegade Vampire feeding off humans that had the plague, it appeared their affected blood was something like a drug to them. Even though these humans were going to die, we were still there to stop them from being slaughtered. That was when I seen the woman who would later become my wife, Julie, she had shoulder length light brown hair and sad brown eyes, the feelings I had were instant. Her eyes haunted me every second from the moment I seen her. It wasnt just sexual desire it was a desire to look after her, to be there for her, to never leave her. There were obstacles that I had to overcome, but in 1637, I made her my wife. After she was changed we discovered that Julie could sense feelings. My life now had purpose, she was everything, and she felt the same for me. Together we worked at healing both Demons and Humans. Normally that is where it would stop, we change our mate, but Julie and I were different. In 1665, the plague had hit London. The Vampire returned and so did the Guard. Julie had noticed a young man who was angry, lonely and deeply upset with himself. His family became ill with the plague, Julie and I nursed them until their eventual deaths. The young man, Jonathon became more emotional and was on a path of self destruction, he had an ability that he
