{"product_id":"boomerang-effect-book-gordon-jack-9780062399397","title":"The Boomerang Effect","description":"A hilariously subversive YA debut that explores the meaning of friendship and loyalty, and also why you should avoid being trapped in a small space with an angry chicken. Perfect for fans of Andrew Smith's Winger and Frank Portman's King Dork.  It all started with a harmless prank. But now high school junior Lawrence Barry is one step away from reform school unless he participates in a mentorship program. His mentee? Spencer Knudsen, a Norwegian exchange student with Spock-like intelligence but the social skills of the periodic table.  Then disaster strikes. Homecoming Week. When someone dressed as the school Viking mascot starts destroying the fairytale-inspired floats, all suspicion falls on Lawrence. Add to the mix a demon Goth girl, a Renaissance LARPing group, an overzealous yearbook editor, and three vindictive chickens, and Lawrence soon realizes that his situation may be a little out of control. But Spencer seems to have some answers. In fact, Spencer may be the one friend Lawrence never knew he needed.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49910938108177,"sku":"CIN006239939XG","price":6.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/006239939X.jpg?v=1751226357","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/boomerang-effect-book-gordon-jack-9780062399397","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
