16-year-old Cameron kind of has a bad attitude. About everything. He hates school; he doesn’t get along with his family; and he spends most of his time getting baked. Clearly, Cameron is destined for great things … NOT. Or is he? As in many classic tales, a near-death (or pending death) experience gets Cameron on the road to some kind of redemption. Together with his gaming-obsessed, hypochondriac friend Gonzo, Cameron sets off on a Don Quixote-like adventure featuring fire giants, members of a happiness cult, and the most rockin’ guardian angel you’ll ever meet. Will Cameron discover the secret of the universe? The answers are there for those readers willing to tolerate this less-than-sympathetic protagonist over his 500-page journey.
