Gordon Jack, The Boomerang Effect
Sponsored by Peninsula Arts & Letters and Kepler's

Join us and celebrate the launch of Gordon Jack's hilarious debut novel The Boomerang Effect, a comically subversive YA debut that explores the meaning of friendship and loyalty, and also why you should avoid being trapped in a small space with an angry chicken.

It all started with a harmless prank. But now high school junior Lawrence Barry is one step away from reform school unless he participates in a mentorship program. His mentee? Spencer Knudsen, a Norwegian exchange student with Spock-like intelligence but the social skills of the periodic table.

Then disaster strikes. Homecoming Week. When someone dressed as the school Viking mascot starts destroying the fairytale-inspired floats, all suspicion falls on Lawrence. Add to the mix a demon Goth girl, a Renaissance LARPing group, an overzealous yearbook editor, and three vindictive chickens, and Lawrence soon realizes that his situation may be a little out of control. But Spencer seems to have some answers. In fact, Spencer may be the one friend Lawrence never knew he needed.

Gordon is a school librarian and will be bringing his League of Librarian Dudes to challenge a team of teens in a contest that will test their knowledge of pop culture, young adults, and young adult literature. There will be prizes and giveaways for the audience as well. Maybe an appearance by JK Rowling. Who knows? Gordons sent her a personal invitation and is still waiting her reply.
