Best friends, big fans, a mysterious webcomic, and a long-lost girl collide in this riveting novel, perfect for fans of both Cory Doctorow and Sarah Dessen, & illustrated throughout with comics. Once upon a time, two best friends created a princess together. Libby drew the pictures, May wrote the tales, and their heroine, Princess X, slayed all the dragons and scaled all the mountains their imaginations could conjure. Once upon a few years later, Libby was in the car with her mom, driving across the Ballard Bridge on a rainy night. When the car went over the side, Libby passed away, and Princess X died with her. Once upon a now: May is sixteen and lonely, wandering the streets of Seattle, when she sees a sticker slapped in a corner window. Princess X? When May looks around, she sees the Princess everywhere: Stickers. Patches. Graffiti. There's an entire underground culture, focused around a webcomic at IAmPrincessX.com. The more May explores the webcomic, the more she sees disturbing similarities between Libby's story and Princess X online. And that means that only one person could have started this phenomenon---her best friend, Libby, who lives.

The Diary of Albert Wang: October 2009-December 2009
Author: Albert Wang
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 0557547598
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 318
Book Description
"The Diary of Albert Wang: October 2009-December 2009" starts its narrative a little bit before his 33rd birthday. Encompassing much controversy as the first (most likely) public journal executed as a transcript of this performance artist's text messages during this time period, this book provides a profound look into the artist/writer's daily activities ranging from the business-like to the sexual/passionate tone. The secret life of a run-of-the-mill Salt Lake City resident and displaced New Yorker reveals too many details without flinching yet enveloping the essence of a single Asian male obsessed with daily text messaging and living as a work of art just like On Kawara with his date paintings and postcards. The reader will be taken on this intellectually salacious, experimental journey.
