No Effect

By: Daniel Hayes

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Tyler and Lymie are at it again, and this time the action occurs on the wrestling mat—as well as in Tyler’s overactive imagination. It all starts when Tyler decides to try out for the wrestling team and, after a few practices, becomes a fanatical convert. Meanwhile, his school gets a new science teacher with whom Tyler falls hopelessly and helplessly in love, and he’s busy calculating how many years he must wait before their age difference won’t matter. And that’s when Tyler makes a jaw-dropping discovery about his new love that jolts him right back to reality again. As one can expect from Daniel Hayes, the plot just keeps humming along, the situations are hilarious, and the dialogue is right on the mark. Hayes has a perfect ear for the way teenagers speak, a perfect eye for the dilemmas they confront and the heartaches they sustain. Anyone who has read the award-winning THE TROUBLE WITH LEMONS and EYE OF THE BEHOLDER (his two previous novels) will jump at this latest installment of the Lymie and Tyler adventures.
