Dead End in Norvelt
By Jack Gantos
The importance of history and reading (so you don't do the same “stupid stuff” again) is at the heart of this achingly funny romp through a dying New Deal town. While mopping up epic nose bleeds, Jack narrates this screw-ball mystery in an endearing and believable voice.
