Publisher: Knopf Books for Young Readers
Jerry is starting a new Catholic boys school. His mother recently died and his father is often distant. When kids at school convince Jerry to be a part of their pranks he only does so to stay out of trouble. When Jerry realizes he doesn't have to be subjected to the other kids pranks he starts to stand up to them - daring to disturb the universe. They make his life miserable. Can Jerry withstand the mocking and torment of the other boys?Warnings: This book is about teenage boys and there is a lot of talk about girls that is not polite. Also there is ALOT of swearing. There are other disturbing things in this book - mostly how people act which I cannot tell all without giving away the whole story. My advice to parents who have teens who are required to read this book...READ THIS BOOK WITH YOUR TEENS. Do not let them jump into this book unaware. The principles of this book are important to learn in life - but while they are important lessons to learn this is a very difficult way to lean about them. Not a book for young teenagers.
