In this black comedy by an Australian, set in Texas, Vernon, a poor-white 15-year-old, is accused of perpetrating the high-school massacre that was actually the work of his friend, Jesus, who dies in the process. Panicked, Vernon takes off, becomes a media star, is captured, tried for the crime, and sentenced to death. But his small Texas town benefits from the media circus, becoming for the first time in years economically self-sufficient. A New York Times Notable Book for 2003.

Media Reviews
"Pierre is good at delineating the petty rivalries and preoccupations of Vernon's mother and her friends....But the real triumph lies in Pierre's creation of Vernon, a mouthpiece for today's disaffected teenagers....[I]n his credible articulation of Vernon's existential angst Pierre has created an invigorating heir to Holden Caulfield." -- Lucy Beresford
-- Literary Review
"[O]bscenely entertaining....The suffering that underlies this novel is no sham emotion." -- Mark Swartz
-- Bookforum
"...VERNON GOD LITTLE is raucous and brooding, coarse and lyric, corrosive and sentimental in about equal measure....Pierre has a flawless ear for adolescent-boy speech....Vernon is a Holden Caulfield on amphetamines...." -- Joyce Carol Oates
-- New Yorker
"[A] dangerous, smart, ridiculous and very funny first novel....The writing is simply terrific....[T]here is a jagged, punk-rock sensibility to Pierre's prose, absolutely his own. Plot aside-and there is much in this novel to keep the reader turning pages-VERNON GOD LITTLE is just plain fun to read." -- Sam Sifton
-- New York Times Book Review

Sloppy Firsts
by Megan McCafferty
“My parents suck ass. Banning me from the phone and restricting my computer privileges are the most tyrannical parental gestures I can think of. Don’t they realize that Hope’s the only one who keeps me sane? . . . I don’t see how things could get any worse.” When her best friend, Hope Weaver, moves away from Pineville, New Jersey, hyperobservant sixteen-year-old Jessica Darling is devastated. A fish out of water at school and a stranger at home, Jessica feels more lost than ever now that the only person with whom she could really communicate has gone. How is she supposed to deal with the boy- and shopping-crazy girls at school, her dad’s obsession with her track meets, her mother salivating over big sister Bethany’s lavish wedding, and her nonexistent love life? A fresh, funny, utterly compelling fiction debut by first-time novelist Megan McCafferty, Sloppy Firsts is an insightful, true-to-life look at Jessica’s predicament as she embarks on another year of teenage torment--from the dark days of Hope’s departure through her months as a type-A personality turned insomniac to her completely mixed-up feelings about Marcus Flutie, the intelligent and mysterious “Dreg” who works his way into her heart. Like a John Hughes for the twenty-first century, Megan McCafferty taps into the inherent humor and drama of the teen experience. This poignant, hilarious novel is sure to appeal to readers who are still going through it, as well as those who are grateful that they don’t have to go back and grow up all over again.

We Need to Talk About Kevin
by Lionel Shriver
In this gripping novel of motherhood gone awry, Lionel Shriver approaches the tragedy of a high-school massacre from the point of view of the killer's mother.In letters written to the boy's father, mother Eva probes the upbringing of this more-than-difficult child and reveals herself to have been the reluctant mother of an unsavory son. As the schisms in her family unfold, we draw closer to an unexpected climax that holds breathtaking surprises and its own hard-won redemption. In Eva, Shriver has created a narrator who is touching, sad, funny, and reflective. A spellbinding read, We Need to Talk About Kevin is as original as it is timely.
Ready, Okay!
by Adam Cadre
An unforgettable debut novel about the lives of a group of alienated teenagers in suburban California that Introduces a startling new voice in fiction. Meet Allen Mockery: "The day I turned sixteen years old I had no idea that in four months nearly everyone I cared about would be dead. Unburdened by this foreknowledge, it was with a free and unclouded spirit that I went down to the DMV and failed my driving test." So begins Adam Cadre's captivating, darkly comic story of teenage life in America in the new millennium, fold through the lives of Allen and a parade of friends and foes, each more vivid and memorable than the last: Peggy: "You can hit it off with all kinds of people, but once you've shared a counterespionage run with someone, well, that's the kind of bond that goes deeper than sharing your math notes." Siren: "They asked us what our career plans were and Siren said she was going to be a Laker Girl. Then we fed these milelong Scantrons into a computer and it said that the career that she was actually best suited for was Laker Girl." Echo: "Her eyes could bore a hole in you the size of a chicken pot pie and she always dressed entirely in black, which is pretty lame but certainly impresses the hell out of most fifteen-year-olds." Molly: "She had her own heater to make sure her room stayed a toasty eighty-four degrees. This probably would've been uncomfortably hot if not for the fact that Molly refused to wear any clothing whatsoever." These are just a few of the people you'll meet watching Allen and friends fry to shepherd one another through a minefield of violence, drugs, and parental abandonment as their story careens to its gripping ending. Adam Cadre has created a heartfelt, original novel that offers a new way of looking at the perennial struggles of teenagers. Ready, Okay! is just the right novel at the right time powerful and entertaining story that an entire generation of readers can embrace and call its own.

Canongate , 2003 Like-new copy. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Tight spine - Bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - 277 pages. - "If Huckleberry Finn were set on the Me xican-American border and written by the creators of South Park, it might read something like this."-San Francisco Chronicle When sixteen kids are shot on high school grounds, everyone looks for someone to blame. Meet Vernon Little, under arrest at the sheriff's office, a teenager wearing nothing but yesterday's underwear and his prized logo sneakers. Moments after the shooter, his best buddy, turns the gun on himself, Vernon is pinned as an accomplice. Out for revenge are the townspeople, the cable news networks, and Deputy Vaine Gurie, a woman whose zeal for the Pritikin diet is eclipsed only by her appetite for barbecued ribs from the Bar-B-Chew Barn. So Vernon does what any red-blooded American teenager would do; he takes off for Me xico. Vernon God Little is a provocatively satirical, riotously funny look at violence, materialism, and the American media. Winner of the Whitbread Award for Best First Novel A New York Times Notable Book A San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year DBC Pierre is the pen name of Peter Finlay, who was born in Australia in 1961 and divided most of the first twenty-three years of his life between Texas and Me xico City.

Vernon God Little
Pierre, DBC
New York: Canongate Books Ltd, 2003. Fine in glossy pictorial wraps, trade-sized (pb). 279pps. An excellent, colllector's-quality copy: clean, tight, square, and bright. Yet to be read. The publisher's Review Slip is laid in. The author's first novel. "...In the town jail of Martirio -- the barbecue sauce capital of Central Texas -- sits fifteen-year-old Vernon Little, dressed only in New Jack trainers and underpants. He is in trouble.
His friend Jesus has just blown away sixteen of his classmates before turning the gun on himself. And Vernon, as his only buddy, has become the focus of the town's need for vengeance.
The news of the tragedy has resulted in the quirky backwater being flooded with wannabe CNN hacks all-too-keen to claim their fifteen minutes and lay the blame for the killings at Vernon's feet. In particular Eulalio Ledesma, who begins manipulating matters so that Vernon becomes the centre for the bizarre and vengeful impulses of the townspeople of Martirio.
But Vernon is sure he'll be ok. 'Why do movies end happy? Because they imitate life. You know it, I know it.'
Peopled by a cast of grotesques, freaks, cold-blooded chattering housewives (who are all mysteriously, recently widowed), and one very special adolescent with an unfortunate talent for being in the wrong place at the right time, 'Vernon God Little' is riotously funny and puts lust for vengeance, materialism, and trial by media squarely in the dock..."
