Reviews
“Readers will empathize with the engaging young man who, without a guidebook, sorts through life’s real questions.” ―Kirkus Reviews
“A short, satisfying lesson in caring.” ―School Library Journal
“Fogelin delivers another smart tale… Fisher’s delightfully telegraphed epiphanies, the funny, harrowing road trip, and a satisfying showdown with Dad yield a novel that may well appeal to teens of both sexes.” ―Publishers Weekly

“This amazing title is a perfect ‘guy book’, and should be required reading for every teen, male or female, who feels the weight of a parent’s expectations but cannot quite figure out what to do about it.” ―VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates)
“Tugs at the heartstrings with an introspective look into Fisher’s thoughts through the use of first-person narrative. The wry humor helps lighten the mood. A Recommended+ young adult novel, especially for those overachievers that need to be reminded of the truly important things in life.” ―Boys to Books
