Description

DON’T MISS BRIDGE OF CLAY, MARKUS ZUSAK’S FIRST NOVEL SINCE THE BOOK THIEF AND AN UNFORGETTABLE AND SWEEPING FAMILY SAGA.
 

From the author of the extraordinary #1 New York Times bestseller The Book Thief, I Am the Messenger is an acclaimed novel filled with laughter, fists, and love. 

A MICHAEL L. PRINTZ HONOR BOOK
FIVE STARRED REVIEWS

Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.
 
That's when the first ace arrives in the mail. That's when Ed becomes the messenger. Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission?

    Good book, got me an A+ on my English final report (by choice, that is), and overall... I like it. It has a good exposition, nice action mixed with some easy calm areas, plus an amazing ending. Overall an amazing book, and I hope at least 1 person reads this review and decides, “Hey, this kid liked this book. I’m going to read it”.

    I really enjoyed reading this book! I looked forward to picking it up and seeing what was going to happen next and how things were going to work out. After reading 'The Book Thief', I was excited to read another story from Mr. Zusak. Now I'm looking forward to reading his other ones!

    This book was brilliant!!!!!!! Markus Zusak's signature poetic style never fails to draw you in. Along with a story that goes through all the emotions in the book, I Am The Messenger delivers a much needed message that has the potential to be life-changing.
