YA
JC (or "Sharky" because of his shark obsession) saw his best friend, "The King," fall off a building and wants to believe it was an accident. Now he's spending the summer on a sparsely populated Canadian island with his dad, coping in his own ways (including texting The King's phone). Leaving readers with much to consider, this is an introspective portrait of grief.
