(3) YA A sixteen-year-old narrator relates how he and his brother are held responsible for a hit-and-run accident actually perpetrated by their stoned rich friend. The story unfolds in a nonlinear way, with the narrator composing alternative endings for parts of his life, fragmented by his mother's death and his father's disappearance. Realistically clipped dialogue is interspersed with poetic description and introspection.
