This is what I'm reading right now. (note: the cover of our copy is different than this one)
Great title, isn't it? It's it also a great book, typical William Sleator - spooky, eerie and suspenseful.
After 16 year old Ken's best friend dies in a plane crash, Ken decides he doesn't want to be so vulnerable. He combs the yellow pages until he finds a woman who will buy his soul. Ken becomes "the boy who couldn't die". Sounds great, doesn't it? Ken thinks so at first, but then of course realizes pretty quickly this is not such a wonderful thing. There wouldn't be a story if this was wonderful. In fact, this book becomes a modern day zombie story and Ken definitely does NOT want to be a zombie. But how does he get out of it? This is where the story gets interesting and I'm not going to tell you if Ken succeeds or not. Actually I don't know because I haven't finished the book yet. And besides, you'll just have to read it for yourself to find out because I'm not going to tell you!
So, what are YOU reading this summer?
