POWERFUL RAW PAGE-TURNER AS HUMOROUS AS IT IS HEARTFELT WITTY, DEFIANT OSCAR TELLS AN UNFORGETTABLE STORY OF A MISUNDERSTOOD, MISTAKE-RIDDLED TEEN. OF LOSING HIS SENSE OF WONDER. OF CHASING A LIE ACROSS AMERICA. OF DISCOVERING THE POWER OF SECOND CHANCES. nOscar Danielsson isn't ready for the real world-yet. But he's 18 now, and everyone's got expectations. Why not? With his sharp wit and melancholy good looks, his future's as promising as anybody's. Lie. He's not like anybody. He'll take his bedroom over hanging out. Self-medication over whatever his shrink prescribes for his ADHD. And it's hard enough to get out of bed in the morning, let alone write a stupid paper in time to graduate from high school. If it wasn't for his old spaniel, Enzo, he's not sure he'd even want to stick around. Just when he meets Bette, the weirdest cute girl on the planet, a scrape with the law Oscar's too out of it to remember send his blasting down America's back roads with his eccentric Grammy. Leaving Bette, Enzo, and all his vices behind is torture. But he'll do anything to ditch the shame. And if they make good time, he can repay his debts to his boss, snag his diploma, and slip back into bed like nothing ever happened. But that would be another lie. I love this book. It's a page turner... I found myself looking forward to bedtime to read it. -Jill Wine-Banks, author, The Watergate Girl; MSNBC legal analyst; co-host, Webby-winning #SistersinLaw Podcast Axel is a natural... writes with a flow
