Lyga.
Sebastian
Cody
did
something
horrible,
something
no
one--not
even
Sebastian
himself--can
forgive.
At
the
age
of
four,
he
accidentally
shot
and
killed
his
infant
sister
with
his
father's
gun.
Now,
ten
years
later,
Sebastian
has
lived
with
the
guilt
and
horror
for
his
entire
life.
With
his
best
friend
away
for
the
summer,
Sebastian
has
only
a
new
friend,
Aneesa,
to
distract
him
from
his
darkest
thoughts.
But
even
this
relationship
cannot
blunt
the
pain
of
his
past.
Because
Sebastian
knows
exactly
how
to
rectify
his
childhood
crime
and
sanctify
his
past.
It
took
a
gun
to
get
him
into
this.
Now
he
needs
a
gun
to
get
out.
Unflinching
and
honest,Bangis
the
story
of
one
boy
and
one
moment
in
time
that
cannot
be
reclaimed,
as
true
and
as
relevant
as
tomorrow's
headlines.

Recenzii
Praise
forBang:
"Affecting,
and
unfortunately
timely,Bangis
a
read
that's
worth
your
inevitable
heartbreak."
—Entertainment
Weekly"Lyga captures the heartbreak of Sebastian's situation with sensitivity and compassion, exploring how a life can be unfairly defined by just one action, how it's tragically easy to ignore humanity in favor of a headline, and just what communication, love and sharing the truth can do, especially when it comes to forgiving oneself."—The New York Times
*
"Heartbreaking
and
brutally
compelling."
—Kirkus
Reviews,
starred
review* "[A] raw exploration of persistent social stigmas, a beautiful study of forgiveness, and an unflinching portrait of a parent's worst nightmare."—Publishers Weekly, starred review
*
"Lyga
tackles
a
number
of
relevant
issues
in
this
heartbreaking
novel,
including
gun
control,
suicide,
and
religious
and
racial
prejudice.
The
pain
and
anguish
Sebastian
feels
every
day
are
raw
and
chafing,
and
the
chemistry
between
Sebastian
and
Aneesa
is
tender
and
realistic."

"Lyga
manages
his
intensely

material
well,
creating
in
Sebastian
a
highly
empathetic
character...."
—Booklist"Bangdraws readers in from the first page and holds them captive."—VOYA
"The emotions are effectively detailed but not dauntingly complex, so there's plenty to discuss here for readers who might be lost in greater nuance and appreciate a firm authorial hand."—The Bulletin
Praise
for
theI
Hunt
Killers
trilogy:
*
"A
superb
mystery/thriller
that
explores
what
it's
like
to
have
a
monster
for
a
father....
Lyga
delivers
a
taut,
gory
tale
that
can
easily
stand
its
own
as
an
adult
thriller...but
it's
Jazz's
internal
conflict
about
his
exposure
to
his
father's
evil
that
adds
extra
dimension
and
makes
the
book
shine."—Publishers
Weekly,
starred
review"I adored this book. The mystery pulls you in from the first pages, and Jazz is a more chillingly charming protagonist than Dexter Morgan."—Cassandra Clare, author of the Mortal Instruments series
"I Hunt Killersis an out-of-control hearse with one busted headlight, blood on the grille, a madman at the wheel, and laughter pouring out of the open windows.. Climb in, buckle up, and go for a ride. It's the best thing in YA fiction sinceThe Hunger Games."—Joe Hill, author of Horns and Heart-Shaped Box
* "Lyga brilliantly combines the feel of a true crime story with mystery, adventure, and psychoanalysis.... This story will appeal to a wide variety of older teen readers."—VOYA, starred review
"There is much to satisfy the blood-and-gore lust of older teen CSI and serial-killer fans."—Kirkus
*
"[The
game
is]
orchestrated
so
cunningly
that
rare
indeed
will
be
the
reader
who
figures
it
out
early....
You
can't
deny
Lyga's
ambition
to
craft
the
most
serious
(and
bloodiest)
crime
series
yet
for
teen
readers."
