Descriere magazin:
Thirteen-year-old Larry Ratner wouldn\'t mind starting an after-school club - only this one wouldn\'t be for science or Frisbee golf or speaking Mandarin. It would be a club solely for short people. The only problem is that Larry is afraid of being the shortest person in the Short Persons\' Club. Now that he\'s celebrated his bar mitzvah, Larry would like to shuck his microscopic status and become the real man his culture now declares him to be, especially in the eyes of his father. But when he falls hard for Sara Rothman, the only human on the planet who really gets him, his daily bus rides become hell on wheels as he\'s tormented by a jealous boy three times his size. Larry\'s too humiliated to tell anyone, especially his parents, that he doesn\'t want to fight back. With his parents losing their jobs shortly after moving the family to this affluent Jersey suburb for a "better life," suddenly Larry is too small and too poor to fit in anywhere. Despite everything he is learning about the tragic history of his people, as the tension rises on the bus and at school, and in the Ratner household, Larry may not realize history is repeating itself until it\'s too late to save his own life. Wonderfully witty and hauntingly compelling, Blood Don\'t Lie is not a typical bully story. What happens if David stops himself right before he slays Goliath? And what happens when the smallest kid in 8th grade discovers the biggest bully in his life is not on the bus, but under his own roof...his own blood? A former "member" of the Short Person\'s Club, Aaron Levy offers an unforgettable anti-hero in this powerful debut. About the Author: A former high school English teacher, Aaron Levy was an Associate Professor of Creative Writing and English Education at Kennesaw State University in Atlanta, GA. In the summer of 2016, however, he began serving full-time as the Director of Academics for the Georgia Film Academy. He earned an MFA in creative writing and a PhD in curriculum and instruction from Arizona State University - go Sun Devils! His first work for young adults, Pizza With Shrimp On Top (Dramatic Publishing), has enjoyed over 60 national and international play productions, and was nominated for the 2007 Distinguished National Play Award for the Middle and Secondary School Audiences. Recently, his stories have appeared in Bohemia Art & Literary Journal, Every Day Fiction, Black Heart Magazine, Linguistic Erosion, and Eleveneleven Arts and Literary Journal. In his free time, and when he\'s not injured, Levy loves to play attempt basketball...and play high above the rim. Blood Don\'t Lie is his debut novel.
