Nathaniel Keene

Three months after his eighteenth birthday, Nathaniel Keene died... And that was only the beginning of his troubles. In this debut novel by Aditi Ramaswamy, the titular character - a soft-spoken honor roll student and budding entomologist - thought he'd spend his senior year studying Kafka and integrals. Well... turns out Fate has other plans for him. Within a month of moving to Lovelace, California, he joins the ranks of the undead, befriends a rather talkative beetle, and becomes the prime suspect in a murder investigation. Can Nat's un-life get any weirder?Yes. Yes, it can.
