Suddenly, his parents are gone and Benjamin learns that he is there to stay. Sixteen years old, a two-time failed suicide, Benjamin must navigate his way through a new world of morning meds, popped privileges, candor meetings and cartoon brunches--all run by adults who themselves have yet to really come of age. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The only person who comprehends the school's many rules and rituals is Aubrey, the founder and headmaster. Fragile, brilliant, and prone to rage, he is as likely to use his authority to reward students as to punish them. But when Aubrey falls ill, life at the school begins to unravel. Benjamin has no one to rely on but the other students, especially Tidbit, an intriguing but untrustworthy girl with a \"self-afflicting personality.\" More and more, Benjamin thinks about running away from Roaring Orchards--but he feels an equal need to know just what it is he would be leaving behind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Josefson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1616951885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781616951887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Soho Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.21h x 5.57w x 0.97d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e155435 \/ That's Not a Feeling\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e IndieFab awards - Silver Medal Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2012 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/06\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eForeword\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2012 pg. 27\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/18\/2012 pg. 17\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/25\/2012 pg. 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Editors Choice\/Adult\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013 pg. 9\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist Ed Choice Adu Bk YA's\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2013 pg. 10\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Bea Big Book Guide\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/15\/2012 pg. 15","brand":"Dan Josefson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44567177560319,"sku":"9781616951887","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dff6ac73-77c7-4856-85df-21854160cb0e.jpg?v=1701376407","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thats-not-a-feeling-dan-josefson-9781616951887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
