A first-person coming-of-age tale with sports, family and death intermingled. Ben, of Trout, Idaho, has received bad news about his health and decides to keep it to himself--which he can do since he's over 18--and go out with a bang. He encounters several interesting revelations about friends and family--and life--as he goes through his final months of high school.
Merit: Easy to read. Well written. Identifiable for the most part, though the main premise is a bit of a stretch.
Share: Read first chapter. Book club.
Appeal: Intermediate to YA. Male & female, though probably most enjoyed by males.
