I CRAWL THROUGH IT
A boldly surreal novel from one of the best YA writers working today.
Four accomplished teenagers are on the verge of explosion. The anxieties they face at every turn have nearly pushed them to the point of surrender: senseless high-stakes testing, the lingering damage of date rape, the buried grief and guilt of tragic loss. They are desperate to cope—but no one is listening.
So they will lie. They will split in two. They will turn inside out. They will build an invisible helicopter to fly themselves far away from the pressure…but nothing releases the pressure. Because, as they discover, the only way to truly escape their world is to face it.
The genius of acclaimed author A.S. King reaches new heights in I CRAWL THROUGH IT, a groundbreaking work of surrealist fiction; it will mesmerize readers with its deeply affecting exploration of how we crawl through traumatic experience—and find the way out.
Printz Honor winner A.S. King is the author of Glory O’Brien’s History of the Future, Reality Boy, Ask the Passengers, Everybody Sees the Ants, Please Ignore Vera Dietz, and The Dust of 100 Dogs. Glory O’Brien hit the 2014 many best of the year lists including Los Angeles Times, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus, School Library Journal, ABA, and Mashable. Her books have received a widespread acclaim: Printz Honor, Los Angeles Times Book Prize winner, New York Times Editor’s Choice, Cybils Award Nomination in Speculative YA, and YALSA Best Fiction for Young Adults, among many others
