COLD HANDS, WARM HEART

Dani was born with her heart on the wrong side of her body. In her fifteen years of life, she’s had more doctor appointments, blood tests, and eaten more green hospital Jell-O than she cares to think about. Fourteen-year-old Amanda is a competitive gymnast, her body a small package of sleek muscles, in perfect health. When tragedy strikes, her family must make a painful choice: To donate or not to donate her organs.

At once a romance, a medical thriller, and a meditation on hope, Cold Hands, Warm Heart, grapples with illness, love, death, joy and friendship—the deepest mysteries we human beings experience.

HOME, AND OTHER BIG, FAT LIES
"The only way I can describe it is to say that it’s basically The Great Gilly Hopkins meets Joey Pigza Swallowed the Key with an eco-message that Hoot fans will enjoy... This book was one of the most enjoyable titles you’ll find this year, and it’s all about foster kids and unemployment. No lie!"
