Kristin Elizabeth Clark

The last time Jess saw her father, she was a boy. Now she's a high school graduate, soon to be on her way to art school. But first she has some unfinished business with her dad. So she's driving halfway across the country to his wedding. He happens to be marrying her mom's ex-best friend. It's not like Jess wasn't invited; she was. She just never told anyone she was coming. Surprise!

Luckily, Jess isn't making this trip alone. Her best friend, Christophe - nicknamed Chunk - is joining her.

Along the way, Jess and Chunk learn a few things about themselves - and each other - which call their feelings about their relationship into question.

Kristin Elizabeth Clarkalways knew she wanted to be a writer. She began dabbling in haiku in the third grade - this experimentation" turned out to be a gateway to the harder stuff: book-length verse. She lives and writes in Northern California where she has worked as a child advocate within the juvenile justice system, and as a children's theatre producer. She is a proud volunteer at Project Outlet in Mountain View, CA. Freakboy is her young adult debut.
