Land of Misfit Teens

by Katie Charles

Overview

Amelia MacDonald liked her life.

​

Then everything changed. Fast.

​

Her mom died, her family broke. Everything she thought her senior year -- her life -- would be just disappeared.

​

Now, she and Da are trying to rebuild their lives with only two-thirds of their family. She's in a new school where quirky isn't cool, and it's even more uncool when your father is the new English teacher and he's unlike any teacher any kid at this school has ever seen.

​

She could try to be like everyone else, try to blend in as best as any 'new kid' can, but that's not Amelia.

About the Author

My name is Katie Charles and I am an eighteen year old romance author. I go to a local California high school and spend most of my time in the band room. I play four types of instruments: baritone saxophone, alto saxophone, guitar and piano. I spend any spare time I have either reading or writing with music playing in the background. I barely watch TV, mainly because I get angry at the actors or animators over how poor of a job was done. So I do my best to write things the way they should have happened.

Editorial Reviews

"Before I read this book, I heard Katie Charles was a teenager herself and that both interested me and made me wonder what I'd read. I can't express enough how impressed I was with Ms. Charles. Her book packs a punch from the beginning, and hit me on an emotional level that drew me in immediately. Her entire message comes down to four words "Be who you are." I loved the dialogue between Amelia and her friends. Overall, a quick but emotionally satisfying book. I found Katie Charles has a short story in an anthology and I'm going to go hunt that one down next."

"This is one of those novels I couldn't put down. Make no mistake, though there are romantic elements in this story, it's not one of those HEA novels. It tackles difficult subjects – the death of a parent, loss of income, gang violence – and the 19 year old author isn't afraid to tell it like it is: it sucks... Kudos to the author, who manages to convey her message about teen violence without descending into either melodrama or preachiness. If you're a teen, the parent of a teen, or, yes, were a teen, you won't want to miss this fine book."
