Review

This coming-of-age novel is a remarkable debut for Maine author Kaufman. Sixteen year-old Andrew is running away and finds himself embarking on a journey of self-discovery with a quirky cast of characters. The spot-on witty dialog and rich characters make this a thought-provoking read for a high school audience to enjoy.

This book is recommended to the Cream of the Crop.

Overall Book Score: excellent
