Marni Bates still can’t believe she falls in love with fictional characters for a living
Marni Bates still can’t believe she falls in love with fictional characters for a living. Her career began during her freshman year at Lewis & Clark College, when she wrote her autobiography, Marni, for HCI’s Louder Than Words series. By the time she graduated, she was on the New York Public Library’s Stuff for the Teen Age 2010 List and had made her fiction debut with her young adult novel, Awkward.
Marni Bates’ Awkward was a pleasant surprise that had me laughing out loud and left me with the biggest smile on my face. At Smith High, she's the awkward junior people only notice when they need help with homework. Bates has taken a familiar storyline and breathed new life into it with endearing characters, a story that is outlandish enough to be fun and exciting but realistic enough to be relatable, and a wonderfully quirky spark. Until she sends a burly football player flying with her massive backpack and makes a disastrous - not to mention unwelcome - attempt at CPR. Before the day is out, the whole fiasco explodes on YouTube.
This book is dedicated to everyone who feels judged based solely on their looks. Never forget that you have layers of awesome beneath the surface.
