Items related to Breaktime & Dance on My Grave (The Dance Sequence)
The first two novels in Printz-winner Aidan Chambers’s Dance Sequence are at last available in a fresh format that will draw teens to these classics of YA literature.
Literature is crap. Fiction is, anyway. A pretense. Ersatz. . . . When you read a story you are pretending a lie. Morgan
What begins as a game for Ditto the refutation of his friend Morgan’s Charges Against Literature quickly escalates into a multilevel challenge. After Ditto’s father suffers a heart attack in the middle of one of their fights, Ditto decides he has to get away for a few days to sort out his life. His chronicle of his experiences becomes his rebuttal to Morgan’s Charges. But is this thought-provoking examination of people and ideas all fact . . . or fiction? Aidan Chambers leaves it up to the reader to decide in this novel that Publishers Weekly calls excruciatingly funny as well as touching.”
Includes a new afterword from the author!

From the Inside Flap:
Refreshingly unconventional, an exciting story and a witty game played between author and reader.
It all begins with a challenge. Morgan sneers at Ditto for relying on books as his sole source of information, and defies Ditto to prove that literature is ever related to life. Ditto takes up the challenge, writing an account of what is happening to him. His father has a heart attack, he makes friends with a couple of burglars, gets involved in a drunken brawl and has a life-changing encounter with the girl of his dreams--. True? Or just a story? It's not for Morgan alone to decide--
