Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

Sophie Blue started wearing a black skirt and Midnight Noir lipstick on her last birthday. It was also the day her father disappeared. Or spontaneously combusted. Which is sort of bad timing, since a Popsicle truck with tinted windows has started circling the house.

Kenny Fade is a basketball god. His sneakers cost more than his Jeep. He's the guy all the ladies (and their mommas) want. Bad.

Sophie Blue and Kenny Fade don't have a thing in common. Aside from being reasonably sure they're losing their minds.

Acclaimed author Sean Beaudoin's wildly innovative novel combines uproarious humor with enough plot twists to fill a tube sock. Part thriller, part darkly comic philosophical discussion, and accompanied by a comic book interstitial, Fade to Blue is a whip-smart romp that keeps readers guessing until the last paragraph.

Synopsis:

In this engrossing and wildly inventive mystery, two characters from opposite ends of the social spectrum collide in the most unexpected and uproarious way. Features comic book interstitial.

Totally fun, totally hilarious. Sorta creepy in parts too. A mystery, but super original book. Sophie Blue thinks she's losing her mind. And she sort of is. Her brother reads comics and maybe there's a clue to where her missing father is in one of them. There's a nurse and bad computer code. I just really loved finding out what happened and especially how it's not all spelled out for you at the end.
