Every You, Every Me
Knoff, September 2011
Author: David Levithan
Photographer: Jonathan Farmer
In this high school-set psychological tale, a tormented teen named Evan starts to discover a series of unnerving photographs—some of which feature him. Someone is stalking him . . . messing with him . . . threatening him. But the more Evan starts to unravel the mystery, the more his paranoia and insomnia amplify, and the more he starts to unravel himself.
Sunny Goodenough: Celebrity Activist
Playscripts, September 2010
Author: Jonathan Farmer
When young activist Sunny Goodenough loses the class election to a mean child television star, she worries she might never find a way to share her passion with the world. But when an Earth-bound meteor collides with a satellite, causing it to fall—miraculously—right onto Sunny’s head, she becomes an instant celebrity. She sets out to spread her message—but first she’s got to get past vapid TV reporters, a superficial agent, and an evil media mogul with plans to brainwash the world.
