(1) YA Seventeen-year-old Calvin, recently diagnosed as schizophrenic, believes that his life is inextricably linked to Bill Watterson, the reclusive artist of comic strip Calvin and Hobbes. On a pilgrimage to find Watterson, Calvin sets off across frozen Lake Erie, and girl-next-door Susie insists on accompanying him. A more accessible, not-as-dark treatment of teenage mental illness than Shusterman's Challenger Deep but just as memorable.
