Wow. What a book.
Although the characters are incredibly quirky, this book delves into subjects with which many kids can identify: being an introvert, broken families, cancer.
14 year-old Finn plans to spend his summer avoiding people and reading his stack of library books. Then he meets Johanna, a 24 year-old breast cancer survivor who is house-sitting next door. Johanna has a plan for Finn for the summer, and he learns much about himself, growing immensely in that summer.
Although a quick read, it may be best for mature readers, so that they can pick up on the mature themes and subtleties within.
