YA
Sawyer, a good-looking high school kid with everything he could possibly want, is tired of doing the expected and agrees to abet a girl named Grace in a theft she's planning. Benoit accomplishes something difficult--a well-paced novel about ennui, what Sawyer might have called his condition had he known the word. A satisfying examination of one high school boy's life of quiet desperation.
