Twelve-year-old Quentin never asked to be the Heartbreak Messenger. It just kind of happened, and he can't let a golden opportunity pass him by. The valuable communication service he offers is simple: He delivers breakup messages. For a small fee, he will deliver that message to your soon-to-be ex. If you order the deluxe package, he'll even throw in some flowers and a box of chocolates. You know . . . to soften the blow. At first, Quentin's entrepreneurial brainchild is surprisingly successful, which is great, because he suspects his mom, who works as a car mechanic, is worried about money. But as he interacts with clients, message recipients, and his best friend, Abigail, it doesn't take long for him to wonder if his own heart will remain intact. In The Heartbreak Messenger by Alexander Vance, Quentin discovers that the game of love and the emotions that go with it are as complicated as they come—even for an almost-innocent bystander.

      Gr 5-8-What starts out as a casual conversation between friends about breaking up with a girl turns into an unexpected entrepreneurial venture for Quentin. All that is required is cash and a clever way to deliver the bad news. As business booms, Quentin thinks he has discovered the perfect part-time job. But he soon finds himself in some very precarious situations and calls on his friend Rob for help. When another friend, Abby, finds out the hard way what he has been up to, Quentin realizes that friendships are a serious matter of the heart. In this cleverly crafted debut, Vance delivers the perfect amount of humor and quick, witty dialogue, addressing the insecurities tweens have about friendships and dating in a realistic and positive way. Christopher Gebauer's vocal variations for each character are age- and gender-appropriate. VERDICT The combination of story and voice makes this audiobook perfect for middle grade listeners. ["This clever read will find an audience with both boys and girls": SLJ 8/15 starred review of the Feiwel & Friends book.]-Alice Davidson, Indianapolis, IN
