&;Full of wit and wisdom, and riotously funny to boot. A phenomenal debut!&; &;Ransom Riggs, New York Times bestselling author of Miss Peregrine&;s Home for Peculiar Children
&;As irreverent as it is gratifying.&; &;David Arnold, New York Times bestselling author of Kids of Appetite and Mosquitoland
A grieving teen faces dangerous classmates, reckless friends, and the one-year anniversary of his sister&;s devastating death in this poignant, quirky, often humorous novel that&;s perfect for fans of Jeff Zentner and Brendan Kiely.
Kirby Burns is about to have the second worst day of his life.
Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary of the worst day of his life, and in the three hundred and sixty-four days since then he hasn&;t stopped running: from his family, his memories, and the horse-sized farm dogs that chase him to the bus stop every morning.
But he can&;t run forever, and Kirby and his friends PJ and Jake sneak out of his house to play a prank with consequences that follow them to school the next day, causing a chain reaction of mayhem and disaster. It&;s a story that&;s touching and funny, an authentic meditation on the pain of loss, and the challenge of getting paint to stick to cows.
