Description: In his darkly humorous adult fiction debut, Fuqua mines familiar territory: adolescent growing pains. Writing from the perspective of sixth-grader Caley, Fuqua crafts an intimate story of one boy's descent into depression and near-madness as he struggles to deal with his parents' divorce, their borderline negligence and occasional cruelty, and the instability and loneliness brought on by moving every couple of months.
