Description: 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 "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, andromance! 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 Praise for The Sweet Dead Life "A smart, sassy, supernatural mystery chock-full of heart, hope and fun." -- New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Leitich Smith " The Sweet Dead Life is mischief and mayhem, zippy one-liners, mystery and a tiny bit of tragedy. A-word: Awesome." --E. Lockhart, author of Fly On The Wall "There's a whole lot going on here: poisonings, blackmail, sibling relationships, romance, and abandonment, in addition to angels, but the unifying thread is Jenna's clever, bitter, self-aware, and loving voice ... Preble's lively descriptions and unusually well-drawn, caring sibling relationship (a topic not usually explored in teen fiction) are especially noteworthy." -- Booklist "Bizarre? Yes, very. Fun to read? Yes, very." -- The Examiner "Hallelujah! A paranormal tale of angels that's not a romance, making it a novel that breaks the mold." -- Kirkus Reviews
