Nugget

The award-winning author of Posted returns with the story of two kids searching for something—deep-fried, or otherwise—to believe in.

Owen and Noah don’t always see the world the same way: While Noah frets about a dozen different global crises at once, Owen simply struggles to get his math homework done. But they’ve always been best friends. And like so many other kids in their school, they’re struggling—because whether your mom works two jobs to keep the lights on (like Owen’s), or your brother is in treatment for cancer (like Noah’s), or you’re simply sensing that the world feels broken, just getting through the day is a challenge. But then, in their school cafeteria, divine inspiration strikes. Everyone they know has questions about this world and their place in it, and the answers they’re given by their parents and teachers don’t seem to cut it anymore. And so maybe, Owen and Noah think, they should come up with some answers themselves. Find something that speaks directly to them and their classmates. Something they all can all believe in. Like a chicken nugget. So begins a deeply-felt, deeply-fried story in which saving the world feels impossible, but saving each other might not be.
