Beschreibung

“Nora Decter has written a wrenching, knowing, and wry novel about coming of age into a rough world.” — Meg Wolitzer, author of The Female Persuasion
		
		 
For fans of Miriam Toews, an absorbing, darkly funny story of family, addiction, and survival
		 
The summer Bria Powers turns 16 is sinister. Waves of insects plague her hometown of Beauchamp, where fentanyl has recently infiltrated the drug stream. Forest fires muddy the normally wide-open skies, and everything smells like a barbecue all the time. It’s also the summer Bria goes from having saved a life to ruining her own.
		 
Since her drug-dealing father disappeared and his girlfriend overdosed, Bria has lived with her aunt Tash and best friend/cousin Ains. By day, Bria and Ains babysit Ains’s younger siblings and sling fast food at Burger Shack. But at night, Bria has her own secret world, sneaking out to see Someboy, an older guy who captivates her sometimes. Other times, he angers-insults-upends her, and that has a certain charm too.
		 
But trouble comes for Beauchamp and for Bria in the form of bears that wander into town, dick pics texted from a mystery number, and a creeping dependence on what Bria should hate most of all.
		 
Steeped in tragicomedy and written in starkly observed prose, What’s Not Mine explores inheritance, addiction, and survival when the odds are against you.

    When eight immigrants arrived at the Baltimore Federal Courthouse to be sworn in as new citizens they didn’t give a thought to the trial next door of five terrorists charged with blowing up a federal building. Baltimore Sun Reporter Mark Shrader did care about that trial. His wife and unborn child had been killed in that explosion, but in spite of his pleas to cover the case he was instead ordered to write a Sunday-Supplement article on the new citizens. Then the terrorists escaped their guards, invaded the immigrants' courtroom, and took them all hostage. Mark Shrader had prayed that someday he would have the chance for vengeance on his wife’s killers. Now it appeared that his chance might have come. Mark Shrader asked the immigrants to help him fight back against their captors and several of them agreed. As they organized their attack on the killers, hostage Le Thai Mai’s grown son, a rookie Baltimore police officer, embarked on a desperate and unauthorized plan to save his mother’s life. But would he be able to reach her in time?

    An old military veteran wanted to add a little color to his lonely existence. So, he entered Alpha Rome. This virtual world has given him the chance to feel young again and have one last taste of the spice of life. The prospect of death is no longer daunting, as anyone who dies is reborn by replicating in a purpose-built capsule. 
    Volper’s military experience, keen eye and sharp negotiating skills have helped him get off to a successful start, but his view of the project has taken a sharp turn. More and more questions are popping up and there are no answers in sight. Why have people with psychic abilities been declared dangerous mutants, and why is there now a war against them? Why were the androids destroyed and what will happen if they return to this world? How do you get the Skurfaifer profession and why are those who try to do so being hunted down? What are people he knows from his past, people he had thought to be dead, doing in Project Alpha Rome? 
    Volper is intent on getting to the bottom of all this. But he will not be acting alone. After meeting an amateur team of teenage players and their guardian, Volper could not ignore their unenviable fate and decided to turn this group, who are unlikely to do well in the game, into a well-formed and well-coordinated combat unit. He is now responsible for them, and they are ready to stand by him. 
    Read the next book in this popular series where fast-paced fantasy and ruthless post-apocalyptic action meet game mechanics and character evolution to form a LitRPG classic.
