A teen boy thinks his vaping habit is harmless until it becomes a crippling addiction of nightmarish dimensions in this searing young adult novel from Newbery and National Book Award winner Cynthia Kadohata.
So, stuff has, like, a beginning and an end.
And you donât really realize that until the end, or right before.
Before that, youâre just thinking that you and your homies are chillinâ and getting high, and itâs all gonna work out. You know?
Truth is, the way life works is that you were born in the eye of a hurricane, and you think thatâs just the way life is, calm-like.
UntilâŠit isnât.
So, yeah, Elijah is only sixteen, and already he would change a lot of stuff if he could go back in time.
But you canât ever do that.
And when you canât, thatâs when you find out who you really are.
