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…

“I have no idea why this was a Printz Honor winner. It was terrible. Random, pointless, disjointed, repetitive. Thank goodness it was only 148 small pages, I would have DNFed if it had been a regular length book.”
