We're all broken on this side
of heaven, but we can make beautiful things from the pieces.
Agoraphobic Caleb Reed is about to step outside for the first time in
seven years, meet indie filmmaker Iris Elliott . . . and definitely not
fall in love. It's all because of the notes, the weird and wonderful
notes he keeps finding on his front porch, notes signed by someone
claiming to be long dead poet Emily Dickinson. Caleb's parents think
he's losing his mind, as always, but he knows they're wrong. Something's
going on outside --- something strange, something terrifying . . .
something beautiful.
Read the EPIC Award nominated
novel that critics are saying is "fresh", "powerful" and "unlike
anything" they've read. In a world full of anxiety, I'm Nobody: The Lost Pages
is a triumphant tale of faith over fear and one that kids and grown-ups
of all ages will love. (A London Book Festival Honorable Mention
Winner)

About the author:
Author Alex Marestaing loves to create. He's written for media outlets such as The Walt Disney Company, Lego, Thomas Nelson/Harper Collins, and The Los Angeles Times and has authored three YA novels. His latest, I'm Nobody: The Lost Pages,
recently won an honorable mention at the London Book Festival and was
nominated for a 2014 Epic Award. Though he spends most of his time
imagining ideas for the youth market, he's also written for faith based
publications and has covered his favorite sport, soccer, in Europe and
the U.S. for Sports Spectrum Magazine and Yanks Abroad.
When Alex isn't writing or speaking at conferences, you'll most likely
find him hanging out in California with his wife, three kids, and Milou,
his dog.
My take:
This was quite an interesting read. I found myself cheering for Caleb each time he made it across his front door threshold and outside.
This book would be a great summer read for a teen, not only would it show them how to overcome fear, but that being different is okay.
Recommended!
