I found out two things today. One, I think Iâ€™m dying. And two, my brother is a perv.,So begins the diary of 14-year-old Jenna Samuels, who is having a very bad eighth-grade year. Her single mother spends all day in bed. Dad vanished when she was eight. Her 16-year-old brother, Casey, tries to hold together whatâ€™s left of the family by working two after-school jobsâ€” difficult, as heâ€™s stoned all the time. To make matters worse, Jenna is sick. When she collapses one day, Casey tries to race her to the hospital in their beat-up Prius and crashes instead.,Jenna wakes up in the ER to find Casey beside her. Beatified. Literally. The flab and zits? Gone. Before long, Jenna figures out that Casey didnâ€™t survive the accident at all. Heâ€™s an â€œA-word.â€ (She canâ€™t bring herself to utter the truth.) Soon they discover that Jenna isnâ€™t just dying: sheâ€™s being poisoned. And Casey has been sent back to help solve the mystery that not only holds the key to her survival, but also to their motherâ€™s mysterious depression and fatherâ€™s disappearance.
