The Long Wait for Tomorrow
Joaquin Dorfman
Freaky Friday for the 21st century . .Joaquin Dorfman is back with another smart novel that pushes the envelope of literary fiction, examining identity, high school roles, and even the high-blown concept of destiny through a cool science-fiction lens. What if, in a Freaky Friday moment, a wise and humble 40-year-old man woke one morning to find himself transported back in time, into his body more than 20 years before, when he was the popular, entitled, and arrogant quarterback of the school football team? Could the man do anything to stop a tragedy initiated by the cruel actions of the boy, or is fate too strong a force? It’s the small-town football worship of Friday Night Lights with a dark and unsettling Donnie Darko twist.Praise for Playing It Cool:* “A sophisticated mystery/romance/coming-of-age story full of red herrings and elaborate schemes.”—School Library Journal, Starred

Patrick Saint and Kelly McDermott were the only two survivors of a fatal car crash. Believe it or not this is what brought them together. Kelly is the leading man, star quarterback of the schools football team, with the hot cheerleader girlfriend, Jenna. Patrick always thinks that Kelly has it all going for him and nothing bad will ever happen to him until one day Kelly wakes up and is different. Kelly suddenly knows how to drink, smoke, and play pool. The new Kelly McDermott cares about Patricks feelings and he claims that he is actually forty years old and in a mental institution.
