Awesome...Probably my favorite book of 2011, so far. So many great lines. I don't want to give anything away, but look for the theme of carrots running through the story. I started laughing every time the word carrot appeared (read this novel and you'll know why). Espach takes some risks with this story and I think it all worked in a good way. You'll like this book if you like coming-of-age and quality writing.
