Some more coverage of I AM THE WALRUS's Release
I can’t wait for you all to read the first book in the N.O.A.H. Files, I AM THE WALRUS, which is galloping, slithering, and flapping onto shelves today. My friend and co-author Eric Elfman wrote it with me, which was so much fun. It’s a hilarious science-fiction adventure story about an ordinary kid who discovers he has special abilities that may well DESTROY the world. Funny enough, the conflict was inspired by puberty dialed up to one hundred. Our bodies and minds go through weird things as we’re growing up–but for Noah, it’s so absurd it verges on comical. I’m hoping Noah’s absurd experiences resonate with readers (to an extent!), and allow them to laugh at themselves, instead of stressing out about things. The story takes a turn around p. 100. Let me know what you think of that turn, it took some convincing with our publisher!
Summary:
Eoin Colfer meets Rick Riordan—with a little Margaret Peterson Haddix sprinkled on top—in this hilarious sci-fi series from New York Times bestselling authors Neal Shusterman and Eric Elfman.
When fourteen-year-old Noah falls from the trees on his classmate Sahara, he doesn’t understand how, or why, he would have been up there. It’s just one more in a string of strange things happening to Noah lately.
Like when he keels over and every muscle in his body freezes when confronted by bullies. And when he vanishes into the background at a moment he doesn’t want to be noticed. And when he unexpectedly blasts Sahara with a bird shriek while flapping his arms uncontrollably in the middle of a school dance. What does it all mean? And why do there suddenly seem to be so many mysterious people trying to kill him?
Noah’s friend Ogden has an idea…but like all of Ogden’s ideas, it’s out there. Way out there…
