Ed Kennedy is an underage cabdriver without much of a future. He's pathetic at playing cards, hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey, and utterly devoted to his coffee-drinking dog, the Doorman. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery.

That's when the first ace arrives in the mail.

That's when Ed becomes the messenger.

Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary) until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission?A 2005 Michael L. Printz Honor Book and recipient of five starred reviews, "I Am the Messenger" is a cryptic journey filled with laughter, fists, and love by the author of the extraordinary international bestseller "The Book Thief."

Author Biography

Markus Zusak is the award-winning author of "The Book Thief" and "I Am the Messenger," both Michael L. Printz Honor Books. An international bestseller, "The Book Thief" has sold over a million copies in the U.S. alone and has garnered worldwide critical acclaim. The "New York Times" called it "Brilliant and hugely ambitious. . . . It's the kind of book that can be life changing," and "The Guardian" (UK) said, "Unsettling, thought-provoking, life-affirming, triumphant and tragic, this is a novel of breathtaking scope, masterfully told. It is an important piece of work, but also a wonderful page-turner."

Markus Zusak's writing career began in high school, where he led a "pretty internal existence. . . . I always had stories in my head. So I started writing them." He lives with his wife and daughter in Sydney, Australia, where he is currently working on his new novel for Knopf, "Bridge of Clay."
