Still looking for an award-winning novel for your Summer Reading Log? Check out Libby Bray's Printz Award-winning Going Bovine!
All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s before he’s given some bad news: he’s sick and he’s going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most.
From New York Times best-selling author Libby Bray comes a dark comedic journey that poses the questions: Why are we here? What is real? What makes microwave popcorn so good? Why must we die? And how do we really learn to live?
Fans of Bray may be surprised by her surreal humor in this novel. It's extraordinarily unconventional and not really possible to describe -- basically one of those you just have to read! No other explanation! Check out the book trailer for another take!
