  • Is Kissing a Girl Who Smokes Like Licking an Ashtray?

    Randy Powell, Ed Sala, Recorded Books

    Audible Audiobook (Recorded Books, March 8, 2013)
    Meet Biff: a weird, wild-haired high school senior with a couple of problems. He's 18 but looks more like 14, which makes it hard for people - especially girls - to take him seriously. He's too shy to say anything more than "Hi" to Tommie, the girl he's had a crush on for two years. The way things are going, it doesn't look like Biff will ever find a girlfriend or get the chance to kiss a girl. That is, until he meets Heidi. A beautiful, brash cigarette smoker, she's the kind of dangerous girl Biff usually tries to avoid. But the more he gets to know her, the more he realizes Heidi may be the best friend he's ever had. If he trusts her, she might even teach him how to talk to Tommie. Randy Powell delivers an authentic and poignant look at the real-life anxieties of today's teenagers. Smart dialogue, sassy characters, and swiftly-paced prose make this ALA Best Book for Young Adults an exciting choice.
  • Is Kissing a Girl Who Smokes Like Licking an Ashtray?

    Randy Powell

    Paperback (Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR), Sept. 9, 2003)
    Meet Biff: weird, wild-haired, recovering pinball addict. He's eighteen but looks more like fourteen, and it drives him crazy. He's never had a girlfriend, can't talk to girls without freezing up, and isn't quite sure about the human race in general. Biff's immediate concern, however, is Tommie, the girl he's had a crush on for the past twenty-three months. Maybe it's about time he got up the nerve to say more to her than "Hi."Then Biff meets Heidi: beautiful, smart-mouthed, cigarette smoker. She's here visiting her aunt in Seattle because she's been suspended from her high school for who-knows-what reason. Biff has never found himself getting such a kick out of being with someone, even though she often drives him crazy.This is the romantic, comic story of two quirky, imperfect people who couldn't possibly fit into each other's lives, but do, sort of.
