This is a strange book that I apparently whiffed on based on the gushing reviews. It being for a younger audience is fine, and maybe that’s why I didn’t connect with anything happening until the last ten pages. Shrug.

Delightful!!! Incredible narration by Ethan Hawke I was laughing out loud on the bus.
