MICHAEL L. PRINTZ HONOR BOOK - This gripping coming-of-age novel takes readers on a rollercoaster ride through the chaotic life of a quirky teen and his misfit friends. Darkly comic . . . as troubled, relevant, relatable and hilarious as J.D. Salinger.--Los Angeles Times Rarely will you read something so lovingly vulgar, so fiercely warmhearted, and so exuberantly expansive.--Booklist, starred review If this book was a monologue . . . it would be ****ing censored.
