A most flattering review of My Life as a Myth
All I can say is, "Wow! Thanks for a most flattering and complimentary review of My Life as a Myth over at Insight Out!" If you aren't familiar with it, Insight Out! is an amazing review site by bookworm BJ Shephhard, who also writes for
Impact Magazine

. All three sites are well worth bookmarking!
From BJ's review:
To begin with, this story, very much a YA classic, seemed to be a light-hearted romp as Napalm Nick and his new fame-hungry friend Jesse elevate his social status into the clouds. But as the story progresses, we really get to see Piner strip away the layers to reveal something far deeper beneath. The laughs become a heartfelt cry, the comedy becomes tragedy and the beginning seamlessly paves the way for a beautiful ending. Nominated for 2014’s Stonewall Book Award for Children’s and Young Adult Literature, this debut release from the Stateside troubadour has undoubtedly been one of the best reads of the year.
