(4) YA Fifteen-year-old Manz starts the summer working on a ranch, dreaming of other places, and coping with his mother's drinking. But he quickly spirals into a confusing medley of hallucinations and paranoia, as schizophrenia takes over his mind. Manz's family history provides an intriguing backdrop, but his mounting delusions seem too neatly constructed and the resolution isn't entirely satisfying.
