Books by Joe Frantz

Dreamseller

At only twenty-two, Brandon Novak had accomplished more than most people dream of in a lifetime. By the age of fourteen, he had been discovered by legendary skateboarders Tony Hawk and Bucky Lasek and signed on to skate professionally. By eighteen, he had traveled the world, signed autographs for thousands of fans, won big-time sponsorships, and had his photo plastered all over the skate magazines.

Yet as swiftly as his career peaked, it crashed just as quickly, brought down by a force far more powerful than his greatest ambitions--heroin. One day he had it all, the next he was living in an abandoned garage, begging for spare change on the street and bathing in gas station restrooms. Brandon lived for one thing only--his next fix. Only the through the intervention of his childhood friend Bam Margera was Brandon able to begin turning his life around.

In a new update, Novak describes his hard-won sobriety and his struggles to stay clean. Vivid, harrowing and heartfelt, Brandon's story is a riveting and unforgettable journey from a dream life to a nightmare existence.
