When Brent Fisher isn’t writing fiction for teenagers, he is forcing them to know English for money. Which is to say he has a passion for both teaching and writing. Born and raised in the Midwest, Brent currently lives on the second flattest state in America with his family but frequents Michigan’s beautiful unsalted Western coast, where The Day the World Drowned is set.

The Day the World Drowned

For fans of John Green and Jandy Nelson, a heart-wrenching, hilarious, and surreal YA debut about grief, love, and life. Seventeen year old Jackson Dekken is the only person who can save the world from rapidly rising waters—but only if he can stop drowning in his own cycle of grief.
