Bøger af Michael J Bowden

A grandfather's magic. A machine to collect excitement. A way to live two lives at once. An endless to-do list. Time-travel hopelessness. A colony built on a giant. Six unconnected tales that have only one thing in common: each asks an important question. What do you do when nothing works? How can you live fully? Can you have it all? Can you do it all? When the loss is too great, why do you continue? And when the story is too true, how do you live it? Like shadows, growing when the day is late and the light is coming in, the answers you find may stretch long, reaching and fading, spooling out in blacks and grays. But don't worry; just like shadows themselves, these thoughts are filled with light. Michael Bowden is a dad and a teacher, wrapped up in science and language. He lives in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, with his wife, two kids, one dog, and two cats. For more on him and his work, visit michaelbowden.ca. Stay awhile, put your feet up, get comfy. He's a private guy, but he's easily sociable.

Justin Graham is a junior at Preston High. He has a close group of friends that do everything together. One of these friends, Lisa, is also the object of all his love and affection. He longs to be with her, but she spends all of her time with another guy, another of Justin's friends, Jake North. At school, Justin is just another average guy, but in the EverGame, he is the leader of a squad of elite adventurers, Jake one of them. In the EverGame, Justin can do anything he sets his mind to, if only he could show Lisa how strong he really is... Jake North is also a junior at Preston High. He is a member of Justin's team in the Game, but his friends tell him that he acts the same both in and out of the game: quiet and reserved. Jake' best friend is Lisa, and she is always trying to get him to break out of his introverted shell. Life for Jake was fairly uneventful. Then one day, Justin starts acting strangely... Jake's world of peace and solitude is about to fall to pieces around him.
