For
fans of Stranger Things and the works of Neil Gaiman, Pawned is a Young Adult
novel that blends dark fantasy adventure and noir — on the New Jersey
boardwalk.
Book Description:
You can hock almost anything at
my family’s pawn shop…even your own soul.
You think running a pawn shop
full of cursed objects with your dad and grandpops is cool? Try it for a week
and get back to me. Now try picking up any random object and seeing its creeptastic
history play out right before your eyes — yup, that’s my little “gift.” It’s my
job to sort out what’s haunted and hexed from what’s not, and do my best to
keep all of us — including Bert, our ice-cream-truck-driving-lizard demon —
employed.
So it wasn’t all sunshine, roses,
and possessed samurai swords even before grandpops’ heart attack — but now
things are garden-gnome levels of bad. Dad made a deal with the wrong end of
the dark side to save grandpops’ life, putting my whole family smack dab
between the forces of evil and our friendly local
blow-your-pawn-shop-to-smithereens mobsters. And Lily next door…I shouldn’t
even be thinking about Lily.
All I ever wanted was to get out
of this crap town and away from my messed-up family, and instead it looks like
I’m gonna have to use every scrap of magic in this joint or there won’t be any
family left to leave behind…
