My Favorite Band Does Not Exist

Sixteen-year-old genius Idea Deity believes that he exists only in the pages of a novel written by a malevolent, omnipotent author . . . and that he will die in chapter 64. Meanwhile, an older teen named Reacher Mirage sings lead vocals for the undercover rock band Youforia . . . a band that exists in Idea’s world only as an Internet hoax that Idea himself perpetuated. Then there’s beautiful and mysterious Eunice Truant, who links their destinies. When Idea and Reacher plunge into the reality of Fireskull’s Revenant, the twisted epic fantasy novel they’ve both been reading, chapter 64 bears down on them like a speeding freight train on an unstoppable collision course. Being trapped in a bad book can be a nightmare. Just ask Idea Deity. Book Within a Book: Idea and Reacher are just trying to survive their own story when they fall into the pages of Fireskull’s Revenant, a twisted fantasy epic with its own deadly rules. Undercover Rock Band: Reacher’s band Youforia is a secret. So secret, in fact, that it was invented by Idea Deity as an internet hoax. Or was it? Multiple POV Story: Told from the alternating perspectives of Idea, the boy who thinks he’s a character, and Reacher, the musician who might be a figment of his imagination. Fourth Wall-Breaking Humor: A fast-paced, philosophical adventure that constantly winks at the reader. After all, if the main character knows he’s in a book, all bets are off.
