They’re supposed to be the best days of your life. But first you have to survive them. Superstar high school quarterback Brian Hollingsworth might have it all, but he wants none of it. Best friend Dylan is a badass that believes he runs the world — and for the most part — he pretty much does. Randy is a bad boy looking to establish his reputation. Stewart is just a loser turned about by the breeze. A lonely, manipulative boy brings these four disparate teens together in the woods. Fists fly. Revenge escalates. Twenty-four hours later, one is clinging to life. Another has stolen a gun. A coward is on the run and someone is on the hunt. With souls teetering on the edge of tragedy, one-by-one, enemies realize that in order to save themselves they must first save each other. A powerful story about loss and forgiveness, rage and redemption. Told with an amazing amount of heart and a whole lot of F-bombs. “Intense.” “Real.” “Moving.” “Profound.”

Summer Baseball Car Baseball Sock Ball Wall Ball The Time Tower: can you get older faster? The speed of light: can it be measured? A carp, washed up in the riberbank: what's inside? Larry, Witt, and Rafferty have a whole summer to play all the different kinds of baseball, to build structures in the backyard, to find out what makes the world tick. "We've got to keep busy," says Witt. I want to know everything. Not just part." Larry doesn't want to know what keeps him heading for Witt's backyard, rich with weeds and rotting appliances, whenever he's not at baseball practice. All he knows is that there's no one he'd rather be with than these two friends, that the chaos of Witt's universe offers refuge from his own orderly home and an entrance into a world of change, growth, and unpredictability. THE HOTEL EDEN author Ron Carlson's first novel for young readers is a heady immersion in the first moments of adolescence, when nothing is as it ever was before.
