Simon Kaplan Releases Debut YA novel, The World Fell On My Head
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 26, 2016 -- Jan’s world feels heavy. Even after the arrival of a new friend, being cast in a school play with her crush Derek (who might be crushing back) fails to make her feel like she belongs. Her archenemy, Stephanie is still around, more determined than ever to mess with her.
The World Fell On My Head was written in the Judy Blume tradition, where issues like suicide, self harm, poor self image, as well as the more mundane trials of being a teenager are dealt with poignancy, seriousness and humor. This is a book that will have your teenager laugh and cry as they will easily relate to the main character.
