I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak

The Author of the Book Thief comes back to write, I am the Messenger. The main character, Ed Kennedy, is an underage cab driver whose life became drastically changed when he inadvertently stops a bank robbery. Now he gets messages on playing cards and has to figure out what they mean in order to help the people around him that live in his run down town. Ed has to move through all the suits in order to find out who is behind these mysterious messages, but along the way he meets some amazing people that you can’t help but love. I am the Messenger is a good teen read and is a quick read because you won’t want to put it down because you don’t know who the next card will pertain to. - Kayleen G., class of 2012
