Debbie have you seen Lane Smiths AUGIE HOBBLE
Debbie have you seen Lane Smiths AUGIE HOBBLE
A reader who saw my review of Lane Smiths There Is a Tribe of Kids wrote to ask if Ive read his Return to Augie Hobble. It got starred reviews from Booklist, and Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus... Published in 2015 by Roaring Book Press, heres the synopsis:
Augie Hobble lives in a fairy tale?or at least Fairy Tale Place, the down-on-its-luck amusement park managed by his father. Yet his life is turning into a nightmare: hes failed creative arts and has to take summer school, the girl he has a crush on wont acknowledge him, and Hogg Wills and the school bullies wont leave him alone. Worse, a succession of mysterious, possibly paranormal, events have him convinced that hes turning into a werewolf. At least Augie has his notebook and his best friend Britt to confide in?until the unthinkable happens and Augies life is turned upside down, and those mysterious, possibly paranormal, events take on a different meaning.
I was at the local library this afternoon and got a copy. As soon as I can, Ill be back with a review. It is getting bumped up on my list because it is set in New Mexico...
