Read Rafe And Be Amazed

Joe Lowery’s Rafe Rebellious and the Clash of the Genres takes you places in your imagination that at first blush seem familiar then pulls you into worlds that increasingly strange and unpredictable and filled with characters with their own agendas. In this, his first YA novel, Joe celebrates the diversity in books and people and the the love of story that binds us all together, no matter our genre.

If you don’t believe us, check out the reviews below and then get the book at amazon or at our website.

“,,,celebrates reading, writing, and the daydreaming that comes from books. A well-written and entertaining fantasy tale about a heroic bookworm.” - Kirkus Reviews

“Rafe Rebellius is used to his family moving around, but when they move into a library, it's the weirdest move yet--especially when Rafe has to travel through books in order to save the library from being turned into a Confederate museum. Rafe is an appealing narrator, and the extended cast is delightfully wacky. ...sure to charm. - The BookLife Prize in Fiction
