<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Danny Day, age eleven, lives every day twice, which allows him to skip class, play video games for hours, and try to bring down bullies at his new middle school.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A boy who lives every day twice uses his ability to bring down bullies at his new school in Mike Thayer's humor-filled middle grade novel, <i>The Double Life of Danny Day. <p/></i></b><i>My name is Danny Day, and I live every day twice.</i> <p/><i>The first time, it's a "discard day." It's kind of like a practice run. At the end of the day, I go to bed, wake up, and poof everything gets reset, everything except my memory, that is.</i> <p/><i>The second time, everything is normal, just like it is for everyone else. That's when everything counts and my actions stick. As you could probably guess, "Sticky Day" Danny is</i> very<i> different from "Discard Day" Danny.</i> <p/>When Danny's family moves across the country, he suddenly has to use his ability for more than just slacking off and playing video games. Now he's making new friends, fending off jerks, exposing a ring of cheaters in the lunchtime video game tournament, and taking down bullies one day at a time ... or is it <i>two</i> days at a time?</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><i>The Double Life of Danny Day </i>starts with a clever premise that builds into an entertaining story. You may feel tempted to read it twice!" --Brandon Mull, #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author of <i>Fablehaven</i> and <i>Dragonwatch <p/></i>It's a riveting premise and a cool spotlight on the social world of videogames, and readers will consider their double days with Danny to be time well spent.<b> --</b> <i>The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB) <br></i> <i><br></i>In a clever time-loop tale reminiscent of <i>Groundhog Day</i>, a middle-schooler gets free do-overs by living through each day twice...After engaging in some awesomely reckless exploits (on the discard days), Danny at last takes on, with two new allies, a taunting, bullying gamer who, readers will readily agree, really deserves the schooling he gets. -- <i>Booklist</i> <p/>Danny's first-person narrative engages readers with wisecracking humor and sharp observations on the middle school social stratum.... Perfect for gamers who'd rather play than read, Thayer speaks their language and scores a direct hit. -- <i>School Library Journal<br></i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mike Thayer</b>, author of <i>The Double Life of Danny Day</i>, is a proud father of three, lucky husband of one, passionate author, budding podcaster, lifelong gamer, viral blogger, degreed engineer, decent impressionist, inept hunter, erstwhile jock, and nerd.
