Random Sh*t Flying Through the Air

Ford delivers a fantastic follow-up to The Girl Who Could Move Sh*t with Her Mind with this tale of earthquakes, superpowers, and culinary ambition. Teagan Frost has almost gotten her life together. She’s inching closer to her dream of becoming a chef, her day job as a psychokinetic operative for the government is going smoothly, and she’s on the brink of a relationship with her crush, lawyer Nic Delacourt. But their first date is interrupted when, elsewhere in California, four-year-old prodigy Matthew Schenke uses his budding ability to control the Earth to trigger an earthquake along the San Andreas Fault. As Matthew’s mother, Amber, rapidly loses control of her son, Matthew goes mad with power, aiming to sink the entire West Coast. It’s up to Teagan to stop him. Alternating chapters from the perspectives of Teagan, Matthew, and Amber, the narrative maintains a casual, comic tone even in its most stressful moments. Readers who enjoyed Teagan’s first brush with disaster will be thrilled to see her pushed beyond her limits in this winning sequel. (June)
