Freewill
By Chris LynchPublisher Description
A rash of teen suicides haunts a teen with a murky history in this Printz Honor–winning novel.
Will was destined to be a pilot, to skim above surfaces. So why is he in wood shop class? He doesn’t know—or maybe he just doesn’t want to admit the truth.
When local teens begin committing suicide, their deaths all have one thing in common: beautifully carved wooden tributes that appear just after or before their bodies are found.
Will’s afraid he knows who’s responsible. And lurking just behind that knowledge is another secret, so explosive that he might not be able to face it and live…

“Definitely closer to a novella than a novel--I knocked this out on the trainride this morning. Definitely a book of characters rather than ideas or plot; in fact, it's only Will's character arc that resolves, not the A-then-B-then-C plot.
This got a little too lost in its own stylistic shenanigans for me to really get something out of it, though. Definitely willing to look into Lynch's other books, however.”
