Girl meets boy at a car wash.
"Dog," she says.
"Dude," he says.
And probably this would have been a sweet teen romance. . . .
If Beals hadn't been sitting next to her in the car.
If Beals hadn't been a supernatural repo man looking to repossess her car.
And to possess her.
David Macinnis Gill delivers the whole enchilada. With a side of soul.
David Macinnis Gill is a former high school teacher, and he lives on the North Carolina coast with his wife and children. In a starred review, Kirkus called his novel Soul Enchilada an “action-packed power-punch of a debut.”
“Soul Enchilada is smart and funny and a bunch of fun to read. For years David Gill has been a powerful voice for Young Adult literature; now he is a powerful voice of Young Adult literature…You’re gonna love Bug.”
-Chris Crutcher, author of Deadline
“In this fun spin on the age-old danger of deals with the devil, readers will cheer and worry as sassy Eunice ‘Bug’ Smoot fights both the literal and metaphorical demons that plague her. Wonderful and unexpectedly touching, this is a book meant for re-reading. Good stuff!”
-Melissa Marr, New York Times Bestselling Author of Wicked Lovely
“I want you all to know you are in for a treat when David Gill’s Soul Enchilada comes out next year. It has, hands down, one of the most unique premises, setting, and voices I have heard in a long time!”
-Mary Pearson, author of The Adoration of Jenna Fox
“Gill scores big in this action-packed, power-punch of a debut…All readers can do is buckle their seatbelts, close their eyes and take the plunge.”
-Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Gill…knows what will make teens laugh.”
-Publishers Weekly
