I wasn't sure about this book when I read the excerpt but decided I would try and win it and give it a go. Well, I was surprised! It was actually pretty good and not just about a kid trying to get out of high school! It was about a kid trying to get out of high school, trying to find his way, and growing up. There was a LOT of different things happening in this book and it could've been incredibly confusing but it all flowed pretty well and the end result was good. I knew SOMETHING was going to happen, I just didn't know what or when! I didn't know where things were going with Mr. Pirkle, I didn't know where things were going with Alana, I didn't know where things were going with Fritzy, I didn't know where things were going with Hudson's graphic novel! But the point was that they all went into shaping Hudson! Great culmination.
