Product Information
Fifteen-year-old Jackie Stone's father is dying. When Jackie discovers that her father has been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor, her whole world starts to crumble. She can't imagine how she'll live without him . . . Then, in a desperate act to secure his family's future, Jackie's father does the unthinkable--he puts his life up for auction on eBay. Jackie can do nothing but watch and wait as an odd assortment of bidders, some with nefarious intentions, drive the price up higher. The fate of her entire family hangs in the balance. But no one can predict how the auction will finally end, or any of the very public fallout that ensues. Life as Jackie knows it is about to change forever . . . In this brilliantly written tragicomedy told through multiple points of view--including Jackie's dad's tumor--acclaimed author Len Vlahos deftly explores what it really means to live. A weird, sardonic delight with the shape of an allegory and the heart of a joyful song. --Brenna Yovanoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Replacement Surprising, original, political, and deeply affecting . . . It is one of those rare works of art that keeps you guessing up to the very last page. --Leila Sales, author of This Song Will Save Your Life It will tear you apart, and yet it's an absolute joy. --Adi Alsaid, author of Let's Get Lost and Never, Always, Sometimes

Reviews
"Vlahos captures both the worst and best of society . . . Numerous laugh-out-loud moments and beautifully drawn characters make for a powerful journey that will leave a lasting imprint on readers." - starred review, Publishers Weekly "An unsettling rumination on the spectacle of tragedy." - Kirkus Reviews "Vlahos artfully blends the whimsical and the poignant . . .
