Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: Ferris Bueller meets La Femme Nikita in this funny, action-packed young adult novel. Its prom night—and Perry just wants to stick to his own plan and finally play a muchanticipated gig with his band in the Big Apple. But when his mother makes him take Gobija Zaksauskas—their quiet, geeky Lithuanian exchange student—to the prom, he never expects that his ordinary high school guy life will soon turn on its head. Perry finds that Gobi is on a mission, and Perry has no other choice but to go along for a reckless ride through Manhattans concrete grid with a trained assassin in Dads red Jag. Infused with capers, car chases, heists, hits, henchmen, and even a bear fight, this story mixes romance, comedy, and tragedy in a true teen coming-of-age adventure—and its not over until its “au revoir.” Synopsis:Prom night goes from dull to action-packed when high school senior Perry discovers his date, Gobi, is not actually the geeky Lithuanian exchange student she appears, but a gorgeous undercover assassin.

Synopsis:[set star] “Plain and simple, its a blast. A couple of them, actually.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
