Messing Library

BOOK REVIEW  |  So yesterday you accidentally stopped a bank robbery because the robber was an idiot, not because you were some kind of hero... and today you get a playing card (an ace of diamonds) in the mail with an address and a time written on it. You know you're supposed to do something with this information, but you're scared that you're a nobody (and have been all your life) and you'll just get yourself in over your head (or beaten senseless).

What would you do?

And what would you do if you kept getting aces sent to you?

That's the dilemma Ed Kennedy faces in I AM THE MESSENGER. A down-on-his-luck cabbie who never gets the girl but has a solid group of friends, Ed's not to confident in his ability to do what the aces ask of him. But if he doesn't get stuff done, he may get in more trouble of a different kind.

I loved this book. This is the book that got me back into reading "Young Adult" books, which I've found to be a lot more interesting than books meant for older readers. This Aussie book by an Aussie author is worth a look. Google Books is your friend.
