From the New York Times bestselling author of Mosquitoland comes an "equal parts odd, imaginative, and insightful" (BuzzFeed) story of a misunderstood teenager.
"As he did in his fantastic debut Mosquitoland, David Arnold again shows a knack for getting into the mind of an eccentric teenager in clever, poignant fashion."-USA Today
"A surreal, memorable examination of how our relationships can both hurt and ultimately save us."-Teen Vogue
Noah Oakman is a sixteen-year-old Bowie believer, concise historian, disillusioned swimmer, son, brother, and friend. But on the night of a party, Noah is hypnotized and awakes the next morning to some subtle changes: his mother has a scar on her face that wasn't there before; his old dog, who once walked with a limp, is suddenly lithe; his best friend, a lifelong DC Comics disciple, now rotates in the Marvel universe.
It seems everything in Noah's world has been rewritten. Everything except the few constants in his life: his Strange Fascinations.
A stunning surrealist portrait, The Strange Fascinations of Noah Hypnotik is a story about all the ways we hurt our friends without knowing it, and all the ways they stick around to save us.
