YOUNG ADULT:  Eunice “Bug” Smoot was thirteen years old when her grandfather put her soul up as collateral on his dream car — a classic 1958 Cadillac Biarritz. Now, five years later, Papa C is dead and buried, and Bug is trying to make it on her own by delivering pizzas and staying one step ahead of her landlord. And then the repo man arrives. Only Mr. Beals — stinking to high heaven of rotten eggs and sporting leathery wings — is not just any repo man…just as Pesto, Bug’s longtime unrequited crush, is not just any car wash attendant. Set in El Paso, Texas, this debut novel is peppered with car chases, basketball, a séance, true love, immigrant agents of a totally different sort, and, oh yeah, the Devil himself. Mostly, though, it features an irrepressible, memorable, wisecracking, absolutely fearless main character who will stop at nothing to win her freedom and protect her free will.

An Encore for a Writer

An Encore for a Writer


Amulet Books

From PW: “Aidan Chambers’s Dance Sequence, six novels with shared themes (though not characters) debuted 30 years ago with the publication of Breaktime. This month, Amulet Books is releasing paperback reissues of this young adult novel, as well as the second installment, Dance on My Grave. The publisher will reissue the third and fourth books, Now I Know and The Toll Bridge, in spring 2009.”

Chambers’ early work was the topic of my dissertation. I’m thrilled to
see those books come back into print in the US. Dance on My Grave and Breaktime remain my favorites.  Get your hands on these, folks. The Dance sequence may be the finest series of novels ever written for young adults.
