(2) YA Parker, seventeen, has psychogenic aphonia; he stopped talking after his father died. Then he meets Zelda--a mysterious, silver-haired girl who says she's lived for centuries. Parker recounts their adventures with a whip-smart, sardonic narrative voice in this fast-paced romp around an atmospheric San Francisco, interspersed with Parker's fantasy short stories and sustained by a steady course of philosophical (and flirtatious) banter.
