UPC: 9781616951528Release Date: 2/12/2013
A star-studded anthology with a devilish hook, whose proceeds benefit 826nyc: the fabulous literacy non-profit founded by Dave Eggers.
Can you imagine the most cantankerous book editor alive? Part Voldemort, part Cruella de Vil (if she were a dude), and worse in appearance and odor than a gluttonous farm pig? A man who makes no secret of his love of cheese or his disdain of unworthy authors? That man is Herman Mildew. The anthology opens with an invitation to a party, care of this insufferable monster, where more than 80 of the most talented, bestselling and recognizable names in YA and children’s fiction learn that they are suspects in his murder. All must provide alibis in brief first-person entries. The problem is that all of them are liars, all of them are fabulists, and all have something to hide... Praise for Who Done It? “With a lively blend of self-incrimination and finger-pointing, Who Done It? will keep readers guessing to the end.” ""Filled with in-jokes and carried to ridiculous extremes by a mammoth stable of YA and children’s authors...clever.""
