it was amazing
bookshelves: young-adult-novels

Fourteen-year-old Jamie (aka Punkzilla) is AWOL from military school. He's already lived hand to mouth in a west coast city, stealing iPods, doing cheap drugs, and getting the occasional joyless hand job. Now he is headed to Memphis where his oldest brother, Peter, a gay playwright, is dying from cancer. His story is told through his letters to Peter as he hitchhikes across the country, written in the backseats of cars, under a tree where a man hanged himself, and ultimately in retrospect when he reaches his journey's sad end. Raw, devastating, astonishing, exquisitely bleak. Rapp never disappoints.
