Her dreams of karmic justice are fulfilled when, after a night out with her friends, she wakes up with the sudden ability to cast instant karma on those around her.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Pru giddily makes use of the power, punishing everyone from public vandals to mean gossips, but there is one person on whom her powers consistently backfire: Quint Erickson, her slacker of a lab partner. Quint is annoyingly cute and impressively noble, especially when it comes to his work with the rescue center for local sea animals.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>When Pru resigns herself to working at the rescue center for extra credit, she begins to uncover truths about baby otters, environmental upheaval, and romantic crossed signals\u2014not necessarily in that order. Her newfound karmic insights reveal how thin the line is between virtue and vanity, generosity and greed, love and hate . . . and fate.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This book is also available in the following formats:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.7&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1365646\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Playaway Audiobook<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.7&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1365531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">OverDrive eAudiobook<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>_____________________________________<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.7&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1345928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-39230 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blogs.davenportlibrary.com\/reference\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/burn.jpg?resize=264%2C400&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"264\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/rivershare.polarislibrary.com\/search\/title.aspx?ctx=14.1033.0.0.7&amp;pos=1&amp;cn=1345928\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Burn<\/a><\/strong><\/em> by Patrick Ness<\/p>\n<p><em>On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her father in the parking lot of the Chevron gas station for the dragon he\u2019d hired to help on the farm\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Sarah Dewhurst and her father, outcasts in their little town of Frome, Washington, are forced to hire a dragon to work their farm, something only the poorest of the poor ever have to resort to.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye, though.

Comprehensive back matter includes an author&#8217;s note, select character biographies, statistics, a time line of events, and more. Unprecedented in its detail and sweep, this haunting epic raises stirring questions about moral ambiguity, hope and resilience, and hunger of all kinds.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Looking for a young adult fiction book to read?
