It was an accident. He didn t mean to kill the security guard with his skateboard it was self-defense. But there s no one to back up his story. No one even knows he was at Paranoid Park. Should he confess, or can he get away with it? It s an ethical question no one should have to answer.

About the Author:
Blake grew up in Portland, Oregon.
His first love was books but he spent several years in his teens and twenties playing in bands.
Blake's first writing job was at Details magazine, where he wrote short humor pieces on the slacker lifestyle. His fiction remained unpublished until Sassy Magazine (cool girl magazine from the 90s) began publishing excerpts from his first novel.
These excerpts generated enough response to get his first novel GIRL published by Simon and Schuster. GIRL (1994) has since been translated into six foreign languages and was made into a feature film.
After GIRL, Blake published two more adult novels, EXILE (1997) and USER (2001). In 2003 he decided to try a Young Adult novel, (a book specifically for teens) and wrote THE NEW RULES OF HIGH SCHOOL. Since then he has published five YA novels, NEW RULES, ROCKSTAR SUPERSTAR, PROM ANONYMOUS, GENDER BLENDER, and PARANOID PARK.
His books have won numerous awards and continue to be translated around the world. A TV movie for GENDER BLENDER is currently in development at Nickelodeon. And PARANOID PARK, is being made into a film by Gus Van Sant and MK2 Productions.
Blake Nelson currently lives with his wife in Brooklyn, NY.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Held des in Briefform erzählten Romans ist ein 16-jähriger leidenschaftlicher Skater, der gerade sein letztes Jahr an der High School absolviert. Im »Paranoid Park« am Rand von Portland trifft er sich mit den echten Könnern, den »Streeters« aus der Unterschicht. Eines Nachts kommt es am Bahndamm beim »train-hopping« zu einem Zwischenfall, bei dem ein Wachmann stirbt.

Das Buch wurde von Gus Van Sant mit Laiendarstellern verfilmt, dafür gab es beim Filmfestival in Cannes 2007 einen Sonderpreis. Im September 2008 erhielt die deutsche Übersetzung des packenden Romans den »Luchs« von Radio Bremen und der Zeit. Seller Inventory # 9783150197776
