Zusak
I Am the Messenger, by Markus Zusak is a hit among the 12th grade Humanities classes. At least 7 Seniors are reading this book right now. It's a funny book about a guy named Ed who receives playing cards in the mail with clues written on them. In the process of solving the clues, he finds himself in many strange situations. Zusak is also the author of The Book Thief, an excellent Holocaust story narrated by Death, and Getting the Girl. I'm reading this one right now, and so far so good. Cameron, the main character, is falling in love with his brother's ex-girlfriend. I'm planning to finish this book over the long weekend. Do you have something to read over the weekend?
