Welcome to the Barry Lyga Sampler! In this e-book, youll find excerpts from four of Barrys young adult novels, collectively referred to as the Brookdale books, since they share a common setting in the fictional town of Brookdale, Maryland. Each excerpt here features a short introduction by Barry, as well as a snippet of an interview about the book. Weve also included some free short stories. And as a special treat for you, those who have downloaded this sampler, we are proud to present the first chapter of Mangaman, Barrys first graphic novel, with art by the illustrious Colleen Doran! We hope you enjoy this look at Barrys work. To buy any of the novels (including Mangaman), visit your local bookstore or favorite online bookseller.
