Synopsis

A witty and compelling new novel written entirely in e-mails. It's called culture shock, Ok? Which means, moving to the country is moving to another planet...I'm in shock. Here are some shock waves taken right from my brain. Chase Riley and his parents have just moved out of the city to live in Pickway County, where animals and insects run amok (except those strapped to the roofs of the hunters' cars) and the highlight of the social calendar is the monthly tractorpulling contest. Lonely and fed-up, Chase relieves his feelings through witty, disgruntled e-mails to friends back home. But will he ever overcome his sense of isolation and find friendship in this alien new world? Humorous and heart-rending, this novel in e-mails will appeal to anyone who's seen their world turn upside-down - and managed to turn it back again.

Author Bio
Michael J. Rosen is an acclaimed author, editor and illustrator of some forty books for both adults and young people. Many are inspired by his lifelong experience with animals; he studied Zoology at university, has worked as a dog trainer and founded a granting programme to support animal welfare organizations. He says of ChaseR, When I moved from the major city where I'd lived most of my life to a rural community, the changes were monumental. And I often thought, What if I hadn't actually chosen to live here? I wrote this novel not only to imagine this new way of life from a teenage point of view, but also to consider the complicated (and always teetering) balance we try to achieve, living, as we all do, amid an ever-diminishing natural world. Michael J. Rosen lives in Ohio, USA.
