From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up—At 16, Graydon Fallon has everything he could ask for: a private bedroom in the basement, the freedom to have parties on weeknights, relaxed parents, a funny best friend, and a hot girlfriend. He and his family are caught unaware when his 12-year-old sister, Maggie, is diagnosed with an advanced stage of a rare form of cancer. Doctors can do little for her, but Gray and his mother are determined to help her recover. For better or worse, these events affect all of Gray's relationships and change his outlook on life. Rich with Chuck Norris jokes and contemporary cultural references to TV shows, Google, and MSN Messenger, this novel will lure reluctant readers. Once captivated, they will be touched by Gray's efforts to save his sister and his family's struggle to cope with her death.—
