For the boy who has everything - here's a little something extra:

Swap the happy family home in leafy suburbia for a dodgy Northern estate, home of your dying grandfather.

Swap the gorgeous Emily for Jade. She's got a few secrets of her own. You don't want to know. Really.

Swap those loving parents for turf wars, crime, drugs and a stranger who, incredibly, claims to be your father.

This isn't one of those dreams you wake up from — for fifteen-year-old Aidan it's a slice of life that is all too real.

A sensational thriller that will raise your blood pressure and set your pulse racing.

"Readers will come to cherish Dreenie's openheartedness, just as Dreenie comes to
cherish her newfound friend."Publishers Weekly, starred review

"The complexities of friendship among three fifth-grade girls are eloquently explored in this short,
accessible novel. Hamilton is right on target with her depiction of the speech and mannerisms
of fifth graders."Horn Book

"Hamilton gets the way kids talkshe makes us 'stop and look.' Many readers will be caught by the
jumpy, edgy story of sorrow and hope, of kids trying to be friends."Booklist

Friendship isn't always easy

Natalie is different from the other kids in Dreenie's fifth-grade class. She comes to school in a wheelchair.
She always wears a knitted hat. And she's allowed to bring her puppy to class. The kids in the class call
Natalie "Bluish" because her skin is tinted blue from chemotherapy.

Dreenie is fascinated by Bluishand a little scared of her, too. She watches Bluish and writes about her
in her journal. Slowly, the two girls become good friends. But Dreenie still struggles with Bluish's illness.
Bluish is weak and frail, but she also wants to be independent. How do you act around a girl like that?

Leo Caraway - president of the Young Republicans club, 4.0 GPA, future Harvard student - had his entire future perfectly planned out. That was, until the X factor. As in Marion X. McMurphy, aka King Maggot, the lead singer of Purge, the most popular, most destructive band punk rock has ever seen. As in Leo’s biological father. At first, Leo is horrified to find out his real father is punk rock’s most notorious bad boy. Not only is he not a punk rock fan, but he believes the X factor (the Maggot blood in his veins) is a dangerous time bomb just waiting to explode. And sure enough it does - when Leo stubbornly defends the unlikeliest of people, thereby getting himself falsely accused of cheating on a test. Because of the blemish on his record, the once-star pupil finds his scholarship to Harvard taken away. So he accepts a job as a roadie with Purge’s summer revival tour, all the while secretly hoping to convince King Maggot to pay his tuition. But life on the road is even crazier than Leo bargained for, and before the summer is over, he will finally discover the surprising truth about his dad, his friends, and most important, himself.
