Au Revoir, Crazy European Chick

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.
