A new edition of Michael L. Printz Award winner A.S. King's brilliant and bizarre story of teenage trauma and standardized tests. "Kurt Vonnegut might have written a book like this.”—New York Times Book Review Four accomplished teenagers are on the verge of explosion. The anxieties they face at every turn have nearly pushed them to the point of surrender: senseless high-stakes testing, the lingering damage of trauma, the buried grief and guilt of tragic loss. They are desperate to cope—but no one is listening. So they will lie. They will split in two. They will turn inside out. They will build an invisible helicopter to fly themselves far away from the pressure…but nothing releases the pressure. Because, as they discover, the only way to truly escape their world is to fly right into it. A.S. King reaches new heights in this groundbreaking work of surrealist fiction; it will mesmerize readers with its deeply affecting exploration of how we crawl through traumatic experience—and find the way out.

Steven F. Gray II spent his life in a living Hell. Being abused, rejected, and imprisoned multiple times instilled in him an unquenchable rage that came within inches of destroying him and everyone he had ever loved. For years, God stood at the door and knocked, but it wasn't until he was completely desperate and ready to die that he answered to let Jesus Christ into his life. Steven lived through the nightmare of drug and alcohol addiction, and a series of unholy and sometimes violent romance relationships. He was imprisoned several times for a gamut of crimes. But now, Steven is overjoyed to find that Jesus Christ is everything that the addictions promised, but could never deliver. Now he knows that his horrific past was necessary to give him the life he has today, having walked away from everything he ever was and ever owned to gain Christ (Phil. 3:8). By the power of total surrender, Steven is finally free, finally not trying to tell God how to do His job, and living his life in the center of God's will. Trusting God to give him back who and what He wants him to have, Steven has totally surrendered.

Curiosity transforms into carnal obsession; my little lamb knows she's being hunted. I've been analyzing Melissa. Studying her. Obsessing over her every move. She framed me for a murder that, for once, I didn't commit; she did. Melissa was simply defending her friend, but that doesn't matter. I hunt abusive monsters, those who think they're untouchable. Who would I be if I don't teach Melissa exactly why I punish? I'll return the favor, pinning all of my murders on her, or I'll kill her. But she is such a curious little creature. She stares into my mask, but she doesn't see danger: she sees freedom. We both understand primal lust for what it truly is. But my love is brutal. I control. I take. I'll force her into submission. Melissa will learn that desire wins over life every time. Author's Note: Shattered is a full-length standalone book in the dark romance series, The Dahlia District.
