"So many strange and wonderful things happen at every twist and turn,
you'll be happy to wander with Josie . . . Each book she descends into
seems to teach her something, and even if it's not obvious where the
story is going, we're in it for the long haul." --NPR
From Shannon Hale, bestselling author of Austenland, comes Kind of a
Big Deal: a story that will suck you in--literally.
There's nothing worse than peaking in high school. Nobody knows that
better than Josie Pie.
She was kind of a big deal--she dropped out of high school to be a star!
But the bigger you are, the harder you fall. And Josie fell. Hard. Ouch.
Broadway dream: dead.
Meanwhile, her life keeps imploding. Best friend: distant. Boyfriend:
busy. Mom: not playing with a full deck? Desperate to escape, Josie gets
into reading.
Literally. She reads a book and suddenly she's inside it. And with
each book, she's a different character: a post-apocalyptic heroine, the
lead in a YA rom-com, a 17th century wench in a corset.
It's alarming. But also . . . kind of amazing?
It's the perfect way to live out her fantasies. Book after book, Josie
the failed star finds a new way to shine. But the longer she stays in a
story, the harder it becomes to escape.
Will Josie find a story so good that she just stays forever?
