Award-winning author R.P. MacIntyre provokes his YA following with another round of masterful story telling. Rife with themes of bewilderment, menace, and transformation, Macintyre’s fiction and fables invade in the big questions of youth, revealing in the answers, snapshots of life at the crossroads of adulthood - what we give up and what we gain, and what we must become. Whether confronting the death of strangers, tempting fate in defying the supernatural, or aching with dangerous vulnerability in the shadows of violence, the players in Feeding At Nine share their astonishment and confusion at life’s ambushes, and offer a fresh take on the charm and brutality of growing up.
