2014 NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST

Travis Coates has a good headon someone elses shoulders. A touching, hilarious tour de force of imagination and empathy (Booklist, starred review) from John Corey Whaley, author of the Printz and Morris Awardwinning Where Things Come Back.

ListenTravis Coates was alive once and then he wasnt.
Now hes alive again.
Simple as that.

The in between part is still a little fuzzy, but Travis can tell you that, at some point or another, his head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some other guys body, and well, here he is. Despite all logic, hes still sixteen, but everything and everyone around him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his girlfriend. Or maybe shes not his girlfriend anymore? Thats a bit fuzzy too.

Looks like if the new Travis and the old Travis are ever going to find a way to exist together, there are going to be a few more scars.

Oh well, you only live twice.
