About this ebook
The winner of the National Book Award, Pete Hauntman, brilliantly captures the high-stakes thrill and unexpected twists that come with the age-old game of poker in this ten-story anthology.
In this unique collection, acclaimed young adult novelist and longtime poker enthusiast Pete Hauntman has complied ten stories exploring the great American game of poker. From an internet poker scheme gone wrong to a midnight game with the devil, from a humiliating display of poker ineptitude in front of a girlfriend’s family to the scholarship game to pay for college, these stories reveal how poker can both irrevocably affect and eerily imitate teenage life.
Complementing a top-notch list of contributors, Full House includes biographies of all the authors, as well as the rules of poker and a useful glossary of poker terms. Put on your poker face and grab a seat at the table!
