“We are positively euphoric about the #1 bestselling success of "The Land of Stories" and were already looking forward to its sequel next year. So we are thrilled to have a new young adult novel from him as well. Chris is a remarkable writing talent, and "Struck By Lightning" is a story that will entertain, enlighten, and deeply affect not only his millions of fans, but every person who has experienced the sometimes painful, sometimes funny alienation and confusion of high school.”
—Megan Tingley, Senior VP and Publisher of Little, Brown Books for Young Readers
“Forgetting isn't enough. You can paddle away from the memories and think they are gone. But they will keep floating back, again and again and agian. They circle you, like sharks. Until, unless, something, someone? Can do more than just cover the wound.”
