THE A-WORD
Joy Preble
Soho Press
Jenna Samuels and her guardian angel brother battle
heavenly head-honchos and earthbound bullies in this Texas-set hilarious follow
up to The Sweet Dead Life.
It's been almost a year since Jenna Samuel’s stoner brother, Casey,
bit the dust and returned as her guardian angel. A year since Casey and his
“angel boss,” Amber Velasco, saved Jenna’s life and helped her foil the bad
guys—more or less. A year in which Jenna has solved the true mystery of the
universe: how to get one Ryan Sloboda to ask her out.
Jenna’s feeling mighty cheery about life and love. But Casey,
whose doomed relationship with Lanie Phelps (who has no idea her boyfriend is,
well, dead) isn’t doing much to distract him, has his own big question: Why is he
still hanging around?
Bo Shivers, a heavenly head honcho Jenna and Casey didn't even
know existed, might have the answer. Bo knows something big is coming.
Something that might just change everything for Jenna Samuels, who once again
finds herself up to her non-winged shoulders in heavenly secrets of global
proportions—just as she’s finally found the perfect Homecoming Dance dress.
Praise for The A-Word: A Sweet Dead Life Novel
“Light, snarky, and heartfelt... The A-Word rolls
along cheerfully through Halloween pranks, high school football, investigative
reporting, angel-powered action, and a very realistic amount of aimless driving
around.”
—School Library Journal
“Sassy, smart-mouthed, cowboy-boot fan Jenna Samuels is back
once again, fighting evildoers with the aid of her angelic cohorts..... has
many of the elements that made its predecessor, [The Sweet Dead Life],
so much fun.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“The earthbound angels are as authentic as the down-to-earth
people in The A-Word, but where the book really spreads its wings is in the
interaction between the two. Resourceful teens and heavenly beings team up to
get to the roots of a very modern mystery, and the big questions of the
universe share space with first dates and football games. The result: a smart,
original (and slightly celestial) mystery with a distinctly Texan flavor.”
—Michael Northrop, author of Trapped
and Surrounded by Sharks
"Joy Preble gives it all! Humor, wit, emotion,
and romance! Fabulous fun!"
—New York Times bestselling author
Sophie Jordan
“Romance, sassy humor, and a pain-in-the-rear brother … Who knew
having a guardian angel could be so hard and so much fun to read?”
—New York Times Bestselling Author C.C. Hunter
