RD: May 10, 2011While 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.
This book sounds interesting!
Here's what Kirkus Reviews says:
“Although the teens’ best laid plans go oft awry, they discover that the force of the universe is with them—or at least friendship, family and romance. Pulls the heart in all the right places.”

And, Alison, that's really what I tried to write, a classic teenage adventure story -- the kind I loved as a teen and still do. Authentic and memorable. I hope I succeeded. Here's the trailer if you are interested.
