Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old super tech geek Gilbert Garfinkle knew the future was going to be perfect, because he was going to invent it himself. He had it all planned. But a funny thing happened on the way to the future... Amber is the most beautiful girl he's ever met, way out of his league. He can't understand why she asks to go home with him, asks him to sit next to her on his vintage Star Wars sheets, and starts kissing him. Now once bitten and twice terrified out of his brilliant mind, Gilbert lies alone in his room in the dark, paralyzed, and pondering life's ultimate question: "Why me?" WHY MY LOVE LIFE SUCKS—book one of THE LEGEND OF GILBERT THE FIXER—is the humorous science-fiction novel that proves it takes the ultimate geek to be the ultimate hero.

About this title

About the Author:

Shevi Arnold loves writing, illustrating, and making people laugh—and she’s been doing all three since 1987 when she started working as an editorial cartoonist for a newsweekly. She’s also worked as a comics magazine editor; an arts-and-entertainment writer specializing in comedy and children’s entertainment; and a consumer columnist. Nowadays, though, she enjoys writing (and sometimes illustrating) humorous fiction, fantasy and science fiction, mostly for children and young adults. She also enjoys geek culture in all its forms. So far Shevi Arnold has published four books: the humorous middle-grade novel about self-esteem overcoming bullying, DAN QUIXOTE: BOY OF NUEVO JERSEY; the literary fantasy epic, TOREN THE TELLER'S TALE; the romantic, teen ghost story, RIDE OF YOUR LIFE; and WHY MY LOVE LIFE SUCKS, the first book in THE LEGEND OF GILBERT THE FIXER.
