Charles Benoit has created a stunner of a debut novel, one of the most anticipated titles of the fall season. Told entirely in the second person, the story quickly immerses us in the world of bright, disaffected Kyle Chase, who once showed great potential but by tenth grade has become a genuine slacker. With uncanny insight, crafting what can only be called YA Noir, Benoit takes us deep inside the mind of a young man on a collision course with catastrophe.

Of the print version, Publisher's Weekly said in a starred review:

Disturbing content blends with skillful, fast-paced writing, adding a thriller spin to the novel's vicious realism.

Now David Baker - narrator of our highly acclaimed recording of Graceling - offers a reading that captures and builds the sense of loss and dread that makes this novel both disturbing and irresistible.

JANUARY 2019 - AudioFile

The listener becomes underachieving sophomore Kyle Chase in this thriller written in the second person. Narrator David Baker’s deadpan tone tells you what you think, feel, and do as Kyle navigates a dreary high school existence full of judgmental adults, cruel teens, and boring classes. Baker's flat style makes it possible for listeners to easily put themselves in Kyle's shoes. His vivid character voices contrast vividly with Kyle’s voice and fuel the story's conflicts, especially Kyle’s encounters with the quirky but cruel new guy, Zack. This could be just an average story of teen ennui if you weren’t kept busy trying to find out why there is so much blood and what choices led you to spill it.

Kirkus Reviews

Quiet, hoodie-wearing slacker Kyle Chase has anger-control issues and wants to be left alone by his teachers, his parents and the rest of the world. He's constantly in trouble at school, and he spends most of his time hanging out with his similarly washed-up friends or pining after his crush. That is, until he meets Zack, a mysteriously manipulative bon vivant who takes him under his wing. At first Zack's schemes seem harmless—especially when they protect Kyle—but when they turn dangerous, Kyle finds he's in too deep to escape. Told completely in the second person, Benoit's first YA effort reads sharply and seamlessly, full of staccato, cut-to-the-action prose that will rivet teen readers à la Gail Giles or Kate Morgenroth. Readers will know that a train wreck is inevitable, and clever foreshadowing hints at Kyle's eventual downfall. Characters are all fully fleshed, with the exception of Kyle's parents, who sound more like adults in a Peanuts comic strip than parents. The novel's disturbing, ambiguous conclusion will provoke discussions about choices, right/wrong and responsibility. Harrowing. (Fiction. 12 & up)
