"Saving the Planet & Stuff" eBook Free On Kindle For Three Days

I've been writing about this off and on all month. Today I'm beginning my celebration of Earth Day, 2016, by offering the eBook edition of Saving the Planet & Stuff free for Kindle users. I'm celebrating for three-days, so the offer extends through Saturday, the 23rd.

This edition includes the original text with a new cover illustration by Eric Bloom, and, in the Bonus Material, the short story Three Weeks with Walt and Nora. It was written prior to the book and never published.

Some Reviewers' Thoughts


  • "A new slant on ecological fiction." Booklist
  • "Memorable, hilarious, and featuring a likable, unlikely hero." Kirkus Reviews
  • "Gauthier incorporates spirited dialogue, wry asides from Michael and droll scenarios" Publishers Weekly
The above reviews refer to the original hardcover edition published by G. P. Putnam's Sons.

And In Addition


In 2008, two years after it went out of print, the original edition of Saving the Planet & Stuff was included in the Book Links article The Text Generation: Fiction That Incorporates Digital Communication.

Last year, nine years after it went out of print, the original edition of Saving the Planet & Stuff was included on a reading list on the Scottish Book Trust's website.

And, of course, Gyldendal Unvervisning (Education) will be using an excerpt from Saving the Planet & Stuff later this year in a new textbook.

So Kindle users, here's your opportunity to add another volume to your e-reader for free. I love doing that, myself.
