This is the first work by Peter Giglio that I have red, but it will definitely not be my last.  This was a coming-of-age story that really resonated wiht me, not only because much of the setting was very familiar from my own childhood (Shakey's Pizza! :-), but because of the depth and honesty of the emotion.  Ben, the main character, is faced with hardship after hardship, and through it all maintains his integrity (and even sense of humor).  I really felt like part of the story, and in many ways the feel reminded me of Stewart O'Nan's absolutely brilliant "The Night Country", and I can think of no higher praise.  I really did not see where it was going, and felt that the ending was perfect.  And the dream sequences were incredibly creepy and well-crafted!  Very highly recommended.
