2014 National Book Award Finalist A Time Best YA Book of All Time (2021) Travis Coates has a good head…on someone else's shoulders. A touching, hilarious "tour de force of imagination and empathy" (Booklist, starred review) from John Corey Whaley, author of the Printz and Morris Award?winning Where Things Come Back.Listen?Travis Coates was alive once and then he wasn't.Now he's alive again.Simple as that. The in between part is still a little fuzzy, but Travis can tell you that, at some point or another, his head got chopped off and shoved into a freezer in Denver, Colorado. Five years later, it was reattached to some other guy's body, and well, here he is. Despite all logic, he's still sixteen, but everything and everyone around him has changed. That includes his bedroom, his parents, his best friend, and his girlfriend. Or maybe she's not his girlfriend anymore? That's a bit fuzzy too. Looks like if the new Travis and the old Travis are ever going to find a way to exist together, there are going to be a few more scars. Oh well, you only live twice.

Uma morte por overdose. Um fanático estudioso da Bíblia. Um pássaro lendário. Pesadelos com zumbis. Coisas tão diferentes podem habitar a vida de uma única pessoa? Cullen Witter leva uma vida sem graça. Trabalha em uma lanchonete, tenta compreender as garotas e não é lá muito sociável. Seu irmão, Gabriel, de 15 anos, costuma ser o centro das atenções por onde passa. Mas Cullen não tem ciúmes dele. Na verdade, ele é o seu maior admirador. O desaparecimento (ou fuga?) de Gabriel fica em segundo plano diante da nova mania da cidade: o pica-pau Lázaro, que todos pensavam estar extinto e que resolveu, aparentemente, ressuscitar por aquelas bandas. Em meio a uma cidade eufórica por causa de um pássaro que talvez nem exista de verdade, Cullen sofre com a falta do irmão e deseja, mais que tudo, que os seus sonhos se tornem realidade. E bem rápido.
