Siddhartha Cooper hates jocks, hates his own name, and is afraid to talk to girls for fear of stuttering, as he anxiously makes his way through life, skateboarding, singing, and listening to the music that shapes and defines him. While attempting to stay the course (or simply stay alive)--navigating the short but sweet, and often painful, confusing years of adolescence--Sid discovers who he is, in the process, through his own voice--which becomes the tool he uses to soothe his existential angst, the song that never ends...

Infinity Sucks & Other Songs is a story that's intended to be read by anyone who yearns to go back in time to relive their own childhood, experiencing again the highs and lows of youth, those big ideas and all-consuming feelings, those proverbial, impossible walls we knew we had to climb in order to grow into what we dreaded and/or dreamed of becoming. But this is also for those readers who have not quite yet come of age and are maybe seeking some form of guidance or escape, or feel the need to confide in a familiar friend--another person whom they can see themselves in, perhaps--laughing at the same jokes, crying over the same pain/problems, and grappling with seemingly unanswerable questions, before finally realizing, in the end, that there's more to life than disappointment and sorrow--there's also joy and beauty, meaning and purpose, like the warmth that fills your entire body when you're listening to your favorite music.

Terry Trueman, Printz Award-winning author of Stuck in Neutral, had this to say: I've known Zach since he was a kid, but I never really knew him until I read Infinity Sucks & Other Songs. I also thought I knew pretty much everything I needed to know but turns out not so much. There are a shitload of things to learn about life in this book; you will be smarter and better for reading it.
