*2019 WATTY AWARD WINNER: YOUNG ADULT*

Madiera-Jade has no money, no luck, and absolutely no sense.
Atticus has no interest and no patience, especially not for Jade.

When Madiera-Jade enters Atticus' life (invades, really) she takes him by storm. On the run from a quarterback hell-bent on revenge, she attempts to steal from Atticus, the latest bad decision in a long line of bad decisions.

Atticus, a perpetual grouch who is already a semi-established video game designer at 19, has no idea what's about to hit him when he agrees to his Aunt and brother's request to take her in.
