The event is free. \nRSVP on Facebook! \nAbout The Sweet Revenge of Celia Door \nCelia Door enters her freshman year with giant boots\, dark eyeliner\, and a thirst for revenge against Sandy Firestone\, the girl who did something unspeakable to Celia last year. \nThen Celia meets Drake\, the cool new kid from New York City who entrusts her with his deepest secret. When Celia’s quest for justice threatens her relationship with Drake\, she’s forced to decide which is sweeter: revenge or friendship. \n“Karen Finneyfrock is an amazing poet so it is no surprise that her first novel is poetic. It is also hilarious\, exciting and as painful as anybody’s teenage years. Read it\, please.” —Sherman Alexie\, National Book Award-Winning author of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian \n“Celia is a quirky and unique character whose journey—through friendship and secrets and chocolate—will stay with readers long after they close the book.” —Ruta Sepetys\, New York Times bestselling author of Between Shades of Gray \n“Hats—and hoodies— off to Karen Finneyfrock for an outstanding first novel that manages to be entertaining and important at the same time.” —James Howe\, author of The Misfits \nAbout Karen FinneyfrockKaren Finneyfrock is a poet\, novelist and teaching artist in Seattle\, WA. Her second book of poems\, Ceremony for the Choking Ghost\, was released on Write Bloody press in 2010. Her young adult novel\, The Sweet Revenge of Celia Door\, is due from Viking Children’s Books in 2013.

The depth and breadth suggested in just a few polished images placed next to each other will make you reconsider what poetry can do.” —Paul Constant\, The Stranger \n“Finneyfrock’s work strikes the perfect tonal balance of humor\, devastation and real storytelling-never just using metaphor for metaphor’s sake.” —Amber Tamblyn\, Bust Magazine URL:https://hugohouse.org/event/book-launch-party-for-karen-finneyfrocks-the-sweet-revenge-of-celia-door/ LOCATION:1634 11th Ave.\, Seattle\, WA\, 98112\, United States END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
