Description
Six students will be chosen for a coveted summer trip, and Jardine is willing to lie, cheat, and scheme his way onto the list. When he teams up with poetry-project partner Sean Delancey—and an unexpected third collaborator—the contest becomes a frantic adventure involving secret plans, school rivalries, and an investigation into a suspicious renewable-energy experiment. Beneath its comic, fast-paced plotting, the novel explores friendship, ambition, family troubles, abuse, addiction, and the difficult realities faced by teenagers. Witty and irreverent while still socially observant, it offers an energetic coming-of-age story about taking risks and challenging the adults in charge.
