Publisher Description
While Nick Gardner's family is falling apart, his best friend, Scooter, is dying from a freak disease. The Scoot's final wish is that Nick and their quirky classmate, Jaycee Amato, deliver a prized first-edition copy of Of Mice and Men to the Scoot's father. There's just one problem: the Scoot's father walked out years ago and hasn't been heard from since. So, guided by Steinbeck's life lessons, and with only the vaguest of plans, Nick and Jaycee set off to find him.
Characters you'll want to become friends with and a narrative voice that sparkles with wit make this a truly original coming-of-age story.

Pull of Gravity
An incredible story of teenage friendship and awakenings carefully enhanced with real life trauma, illness, death and infidelity dealt with beautifully as peripheral but ever-present issues in the interactions of 3 close friends. A must read and wonderful first novel by this talented author .
Amazing
An impactful story about TRUE friendship. The journey of two teenagers taking a chance for a dying friend.
Obviously first time author.
Unbelievable plot twists, unfinished ending... Not very good, save your money. Only reason I could finish this poorly written debacle was for the sweet Of Mice and Men inter windings.
