Parker Peevyhouse is likely trying to solve a puzzle at this very moment, probably while enjoying In-N-Out fries, admiring redwood trees, and quoting movies about sentient robots. Parker's critically acclaimed collection of novellas, WHERE FUTURES END, was named a best book for teens by the New York Public Library, Chicago Public Library, and Bank Street. Kirkus gave her science fiction puzzle-thriller, THE ECHO ROOM, a starred review, calling it "a thrilling ride." Her most recent novel is STRANGE EXIT, which Booklist called "compulsively readable" in another starred review.

“On clear nights, when the stars were white on black instead of smoggy gray, we’d lie on the roof together and say cheesy things like, ‘At least they can’t charge us for moonlight.’ Although later they did, by way of imposing a curfew and fining those of us who broke it.”
Parker Peevyhouse, Where Futures End

“He felt Quinn shift in the dirt next to him. “You’re wrong, you know,” she said. “People don’t change you. They can’t, because you’re never just one thing to begin with.”

“They do. They do terrible things and you go to pieces. You can't be put together again.”

She brushed a hand over his forehead, light as a falling leaf. “That’s what people are. Just all different pieces.”
Parker Peevyhouse, Where Futures End

“I kicked off my shoes and moved in knee-deep. The shock of cold water stole my breath. Cole was dark from the sun, his yellow hair like parched grass. He cocked his head to the side like my grandpop used to do; I swear it’s a gesture taught to all farm boys who plan on growing up to make trouble. I fought to stand my ground against the current pushing at the backs of my legs.

“Can’t you swim?” Cole had asked.

“I learned in this creek. They threw me in and I declined the opportunity to drown.”
Parker Peevyhouse, Where Futures End
