In this joyful celebration of fandoms, whirlwind romance, and plus-size girls, love is the ultimate roller coaster ride. Lia Baker has spent the last few months wishing time would stand still. Soon her friends will head off to college while she's left behind, buried under her mom's anxiety and working a job she doesn't want. But life throws her for a loop when she wins a spot in the fiftieth-anniversary scavenger hunt at Fableland, a legendary theme park. The contest is a golden ticket to a world where her favorite stories come to life and a chance for her to write some new ones of her own. Everything seems perfect, especially after she teams up with Mason, a cute rival who knows as much about Fableland as she does. Together, they're unstoppable. But as Mason's sweet smile starts to melt her focus, Lia realizes that she may have to choose between the future she wants to rewrite-and a love she hadn't planned for.

Jenny L. Howe first started scribbling stories into black-and-white composition notebooks with neon pink pens when she was in junior high and never really stopped. In college, she decided to turn her love of books into a career by pursuing a Ph.D. in literature, where she spent the next few years studying bizarre and entertaining medieval romances. Now, as a professor, she teaches courses in college writing, literature, and children's media. When she's not writing and teaching, Jenny spends her time buried under puzzle pieces, cross-stitching her favorite characters, and taking too many pictures of her rescue dogs, Tucker and Dale. Love at Full Tilt is her young adult debut.
