Dead Ends is a really, really good book.

Butter, which didn't click with me that much but this one, it just sucked me right in. Dane Washington is a smart, tough, cool kid, living with his mom and this pent up anger. He gets an itchy feeling in his palms and he just has to HIT someone. He doesn't consider himself a bully, he hits guys who have it coming. And he'd never hit a girl and he doesn't hit "retards"- a word he throws around without thinking, until he meets Billy D. Billy D has just moved in across the street and lives just with his mom, like Dane. Both Billy D. and Dane have no idea where their dads are. Dane doesn't know who his is, and he says he really doesn't care. Billy D. wants to find his dad so badly and he seeks out Dane's help. This is just a beautiful, painful, smart, important book. So different. So great. Can't wait for it to come out so that I can recommend it to all! Thank you,
