Unmasking your town vigilante is one thing, but to discover your own identity- that’s the real adventure. The South Louisiana High Series begins with a girl named Karen Lyles and Almost Fair, the first book in the SLH Series, tells her story.
It’s 1997 in the tiny town of Peake, Alabama and everyone’s talking about Unseen, a supposedly invisible superhero who kicks cow-tipper butt! To Unseen's credit, the hero is also known for taking on more serious criminals like the occasional gas station thief and …well, that’s pretty much it.
But this story isn’t about Unseen, it’s about one of the vigilante's fans- a taciturn sixteen-year-old named Karen Lyles. The standoffish hero of our story lives in Peake with her Deaf parents and little sister Tessa. When Karen isn't quietly glaring at snobby girls in her gymnastics class or trying and failing at not-flirting with her bestie's boyfriend, she enjoys spending time with her family. But everything changes when Karen’s mother inexplicably loses all of her memories and eventually, her will to live. Life is turned even more inside out when Karen’s little sister, Tessa, is kidnapped by one of Unseen’s enemies! Determined to save her, Karen teams up with her father and with a boy named Nathaniel (um..yeah, Nathaniel is her best friend's boyfriend in case you were wondering), for the rescue mission. As the three of them dodge gunshots, memory-erasing devices, and the punishing blows of extraordinarily powerful mutants, Karen discovers that her parents have been hiding a tremendous secret about their past - a secret that links their family to Unseen. For only $2.99, join Karen, Nathaniel, and Tessa on their journey into a world they never knew existed ... |
