Takes all kinds

If you are intrigued by the conversations of strangers, Overheard in New York is for you. Based on the popular blog, the book presents you with brief exchanges between people in public areas of The City. My only advice to readers is to pace yourself. Reading it all in a single sitting might make you nauseous.

For Pete's Sake

I've been a fan of Pete Hautman's since I read Mr. Was. I happened upon his latest teen fiction and devoured it in almost a single session. Kelleigh is a fifteen-year-old who is just bored. She stumbles upon something that gives her a kick: stealing cars. Hautman portrays her voice and emotions so vividly you'll be pulled into the story and get your own kick out of it.
