Book: On
The Bright Side by S.R. Johannes
Publisher: Coleman
& Stott
Description: Gabby
is a disgruntled tween angel who has just been assigned to protect her school
nemesis and ex-beffie. Problem is her ex-beffie is dating Gabby’s longtime
crush. Instead of protecting Angela, Gabby pranks her (since when is sticking
toilet paper to her shoe or spinach in her teeth a sin?) Soon, Gabby gets out
of control and is put on probation by her SKYAgent, who has anger management
issues of his own. Determined to right
her wrongs, Gabby steals an ancient artifact that allows her to return to Earth
for just one day. Without knowing, she kicks off a series of events and
learns what can happen when you hate someone to death.
Praises for Untraceable
"Grace
is a spunky, independent, nature girl who doesn't need a boy to save her. With
wilderness survival, a juicy love triangle, and more twists and turns than a
roller coaster, this fast-paced novel had me holding my breath until the very
last page—and still begging for more!" -Kimberly
Derting,
author of the The Body
Finder series (Harper Teen) and The Pledge series (S&S)
"This thrilling
story is a dramatic entanglement of mystery, deception and teen
romance. The action flows like a brisk mountain stream interspersed with
rapids, holding suspense to last page." - Kirkus Reviews
2009
Amazon Breakthrough Novel Quarterfinalist (under the original title of Grace
Under Fire) - Judges Reviews:
"This
story starts out with a bang...it reads like the young woman were narrating it
to a friend, and had the ring of a young person's style and intensity. Grace
sees authority people, or at least those she knows, as a bit bumbling, which is
true to age. Authentic representation of youth in action also. Original in
premise and style, and good use of background...Good story!" - Sue
Grafton, author of bestselling Kinsey Milhone series
"This
murder mystery features a teenaged heroine, but she has the self assurance of a
woman twice her age. The prose is very descriptive...and the dialogue is
genuine. The setting of small town North Carolina and the surrounding woods is
appealing. The story moves along at a brisk clip, and it feels as if we already
have some important clues. We look forward to seeing what's in the case file
and what Grace and her motorbike, Luci, will be up to next." - Sue
Monk Kidd, author of Secret Life of Bees
Praises for On The Bright Side
"S.R.
Johannes delivers a cute paranormal thrill ride for middle graders! Even in
death there is a BRIGHT SIDE!" - Addison Moore, author of the bestselling
Celestra series and soon to be TV show
Clever
and charming, ON THE BRIGHT SIDE is the story of a reluctant guardian angel,
her still-breathing crush, and the frenemy she’s assigned to protect. A great
read! -Suzanne Young, author of A Need So Beautiful, A Want So Wicket (6/12),
and The Program (2013)
“ON
THE BRIGHT SIDE is both hilarious and heart-warming – a tale that’ll have you
hoping that there really *are* spunky and determined angels like Gabby who’ve
got our backs.” - Kristin O’Donnell Tubb, author of Selling Hope & The 13th Sign
(2013) (Feiwel & Friends)
"With
a smart, snappy heroine and a heart-warming crush, ON THE BRIGHT SIDE is a
page-turning new take on guardian angels that left me begging for a
sequel!" - Gretchen McNeil, author of Possess and Ten (9/12) (Balzar + Bray)
