I Am the Messenger
From the author of The Book Thief. Publishers Weekly says "The author artfully pulls readers through the many plot twists, building to a startling revelation.... Don't start this compulsively readable book without enough time to read it straight through to the final page."
About the Book
Publisher’s description:
By the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Book Thief, this is a cryptic journey filled with laughter, fists, and love.
Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He’s pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.
That’s when the first ace arrives in the mail. That’s when Ed becomes the messenger. Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who’s behind Ed’s mission?
This book is a 2005 Michael L. Printz Honor Book and recipient of five starred reviews.
