Description:

*Chosen for 2004 "Our Choice" Canadian Children's Centre literature guide *Shortlisted for the 2005 Canadian Library Association Young Adult Book Award *Shortlisted for the 2005 White Pine Award *Shortlisted for the 2005 Stellar Book Award We have all been there: those sublime and ordinary moments in growing up that create the evolution of change, or as Cheeseburger Subversive's Dak Sifter would call it, a "shifting of gears". Scarsbrook's novel captures the weird logic of self discovery that marks the explorations of boy becoming man, and in its noise and thrashing, explodes the maturity myth.
