About this ebook
“A high-octane, high-caliber joyride centered on one very loud night in New York City” from the New York Times–bestselling author (Michael Northrop, author of Rotten).
Ferris Bueller meets La Femme Nikita in this funny, action-packed young adult novel.
It’s prom night—and Perry just wants to stick to his own plan and finally play a much-anticipated gig with his band in the Big Apple. But when his mother makes him take Gobija Zaksauskas—their quiet, geeky Lithuanian exchange student—to the prom, he never expects that his ordinary high school guy life will soon turn on its head. Perry finds that Gobi is on a mission, and Perry has no other choice but to go along for a reckless ride through Manhattan’s concrete grid with a trained assassin in Dad’s red Jag.
Infused with capers, car chases, heists, hits, henchmen, and even a bear fight, this story mixes romance, comedy, and tragedy in a true teen coming-of-age adventure—and it’s not over until its “au revoir.”
This ebook includes a sample chapter of Perry’s Killer Playlist.
“What follows are captures, tortures, machine guns, a helicopter rescue, and a kiss that is, like this addictive first novel for teens, a ‘long, intoxicating dive through a sea of Red Bull.’” —Booklist (starred review)
“The hilarious YA buzzbomb I’ve been waiting for all year. Has style and wit to burn.” —Sean Beaudoin, author of Wise Young Fool
“Fast paced, smart, exciting . . . it’s like your favorite summer action thriller and John Hughes movie rolled into one.” —Josh Schwartz, executive producer of Gossip Girl and The O.C.
