9781593072131: Chosen

Synopsis

Imagine you're twelve years old and suddenly discover that you are the returned Jesus Christ. You can turn water into wine, make the crippled walk and perhaps even raise the dead. What do you and your family do, and how does it affect you knowing that you're destined to grow up and take part in a conflict that people have been waiting almost two thousand years for? Chosen has been described in the British press as Spider-Man meets The Book of Revelation. SFX Magazine describes it as Harry Potter for Christian fundamentalists.

From Booklist

A truck crushes 12-year-old Jodie Christianson, and he is rushed to the hospital. Miraculously enough, he is unscathed. Not unchanged, however, for on returning to school, the erstwhile D student correctly answers every question put to him. He cures one friend's asthma and another's bad vision, changes some water into wine, and after the truck driver's son bullies him, raises the man from a coma. Even before then, Jodie has wondered, Could I be Jesus come again? Faithless Father O'Higgins assures him he isn't, but at the climax of Millar's cleverly developed story, even the priest becomes a believer. An anticlimax is also at hand, and as he reveals in the appended writer-artist dialogue, artist Gross has hinted at it all along. Most readers won't spot the warnings, having been thoroughly absorbed in Millar's skillful characterizations and manipulation of details from the Gospels. Gross' rather bland artwork, made more divertingly kitchen-sinkish by Jeanne McGee's dusty pastel colors, lulls one's attention, too. Few will mind the con job, though. This is a helluva cautionary tale. Ray Olson
