The first feeling is exhilaration.
The second feeling is pain. The feeling that never comes is regret.
Jonah is on a mission to break every bone in his body. Everyone knows that broken bones grow back stronger
than they were before. And Jonah wants to be stronger — needs to be stronger — because everything
around him is falling apart. Breaking, and then healing, is Jonah's only way to cope with the stresses of home,
girls, and the world on his shoulders. This is the story of his self-destructive spiral, his rock-bottom
moment, and how he finally learns to accept help and find true strength through recovery.
Break is Hannah Moskowitz's debut young adult novel with Simon Pulse,
released on August 25, 2009.
"...for those with a taste for the macabre and an aversion to the sentimental,
it's hard not to be taken in by the book's strong central relationships and Moskowitz's unapologetic,
single-minded dedication to her unsavory task. Like it or hate it, she wrings her concept for all it
is worth. The result is like a one-man Fight Club, and it could find nearly as many ardent followers."
