NEW TITLE FROM A SKY PONY LEAD: The latest contemporary thriller from the author of A Million Times Goodnight (July 2016) and One Moment (January 2017). A Million Times Goodnight will release in paperback a month before to tease this hardcover.
A HARROWING PAGE-TURNING CLUE HUNT: Blending elements of Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls (Simon Pulse), Vanishing Girls (Harper) and Gone Girl (Random House), The Bakersville Dozen turns what at first seems like a fun end-of year game into a scavenger hunt that could end with a murder . . . or thirteen. With suspicion constantly shifting, readers won’t guess who’s behind the kidnappings until the very last pages.
RIPPED FROM THE HEADLINES: As with her previous books, McBride draws on disturbing real-life events that come straight out of the news. With cut-throat competition, viral videos, and cyber stalking underpinning the action, high school has never looked so scary.
GREAT SELF-PROMOTER: McBride teaches writing for teens at Antioch University Midwest and Wright State University and is currently doing a writer-in-residency program with high schoolers in South Carolina. She does a great deal of promotion at regional conferences in the Cincinnati, OH area.
