Böcker av Katie Proctor

At Mountain View Middle School, everyone knows everyone else's business. Green. Yellow. Red. Regardless of what is happening in your life, your status and access are determined by the card that hangs around your neck. Principal Fowler delights in giving demerits and knocking her prisoners students down a color. Five discouraged and beaten down students are thrown together one day when everything goes wrong, and they are locked in a closet during a tornado warning. Five strangers enter, but they leave as one-determined to bring down the system. Color Coded is a don't-miss adventure of misfits and mettle in the vein of The Breakfast Club meets Louis Sachar's Holes.

"Katie Proctor''s Seasons is a collection of temporal elegant epiphanies well suited to a pandemic plagued culture. In Firsts," Proctor writes of the knowledge that shadows such experiences- ''knowing nothing will ever be quite like this again.'' She speaks of distanced lovers imagining touching flesh and pressing flowers of the other''s hometown into a book. The tactile details of this collection are timely in their taunts of the ''melted endlessness.'' Proctor describes in ''An Empty Infinity.'' It is both a precise description of the condition we are experiencing in the Covid era as well as a reminder that this is but another uncomfortable season that will eventually succumb to another." Kristin Garth, author of Puritan U Succubus Alumnus, Hedgehog Poetry, and Flutter: Southern Gothic Fever Dream, TwistiT Press
