Thompson
may be only seventeen but he knows he’s just checked into Heartbreak Hotel for
good, now that his girlfriend, Caroline, has put an end to their burning love.
Since then he’s been sleepwalking through his summer job at Super Kmart while
desperately dreaming of ways to win her back. He even drops by the Tiki House
on Elvis Presley Night hoping that she, a diehard fan of the “King of Rock ‘n’
Roll,” will be there as well. That’s when he meets Johnny Lee Young—real estate
agent by day, Hawaii’s Favorite Elvis Impersonator by night—and the lovesick
teen’s world suddenly takes a wild and unexpected turn. As luck would have it,
Johnny needs a temporary assistant to help with equipment and social media and
Thompson eagerly accepts the offer, hoping it will distract him from his
painful and lingering romantic issues. But like Thompson, Johnny is nursing a
secret heartbreak and pining for his own lost love. So the new roadie starts
making plans—with a little help from his friends Ronnie and Greta—to accompany the
counterfeit King on an odyssey of a lifetime that will take them far from their
island paradise home in search of true love.

"Driven by realistic characters, compelling purposes, and changing environments, One Night breaks away from the normal coming-of-age saga with an intense story of growth and self-discovery that's very highly recommended for mature teens and new adults alike." -D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review "Draws readers in with its charm and quaintness...there's plenty characters of color, which does not happen often in YA lit and is a nice change of pace." -Portland Book Review "Thompson, as our narrator, has an engaging, easy-going tone, and the author manages to perfectly capture the voice of a teenage boy." -Lynda Dickson, Books Direct
