(3) YA Nick's life falls apart as his best friend, "the Scoot," succumbs to terminal illness and his father deserts the family. With the help of new friend Jaycee, Nick sets out to fulfill the Scoot's last wish, involving Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. Though Jaycee's efficiency and insight seem a tad too idealized, Nick's haplessness and anger are well portrayed.
