| Publisher Description: Jack Sullivan is Blackwell Middle School's scariest bully. When students and teachers see him coming down the hallway, they run the other way. He has no friends; he doesn't need them. School is a waste of his time. But after a car accident with his father leaves him in need of surgery, Jack has to have a tissue donor. Strangely, he then begins having memories from events that never actually happened to him - memories of being bullied by bigger, meaner boys. Jack learns he is experiencing cellular memory, which makes him receive the memories of his tissue donor...who just so happened to be a weak, helpless victim of bullying. Jack decides he has to make things right. To do that, he offers each of his former victims an apology, along with the chance to let each one choose a way to get even with him. But Jack quickly learns that earning their forgiveness won't be easy... |
Contributor Bio(s): Naas, Katy Newton: - "From the time she was old enough to talk, Katy Newton Naas has been creating characters and tell-ing stories. As a child, they sometimes got her into trouble. She knew she wanted to write books when she won a Young Author's competition as a second-grader for her short story titled, "The Grape Pie." (Don't let its tasty title fool you - it was actually a sad little tale!) Katy devoured books as a child and young adult, always doing chores and odd jobs in order to make enough money to buy more of them. Though she continues to age, her true literature love is and has always been children's and young adult fiction. Katy currently teaches middle school reading and high school English in southern Illinois, as well as children's church. She graduated from Southern Illinois University-Carbondale with a bachelor's degree in English Education and a master's degree in Reading and Language Studies. She enjoys her life out in the country with her husband, her two sweet and rowdy young sons, and all her four-legged kids: Shakespeare, Poe, Morgi, Cappy, Ana, and Gray. She loves creating both realistic and futuristic stories about kids, tweens, and teens, and feels so fortunate to get to work with them every day as a teacher." |
