  <default_description>&lt;p&gt; Ben Wolf has big things planned for his senior year. &lt;i&gt;Had&lt;/i&gt; big things planned. Now what he has is some very bad news and only one year left to make his mark on the world. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; How can a pint-sized, smart-ass eighteen-year-old do &lt;i&gt;anything&lt;/i&gt; significant in the nowheresville of Trout, Idaho? &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; First, Ben makes sure that no one else knows what is going on&amp;#8212;not his superstar quarterback brother, Cody, not his parents, not his coach, no one. Next, he decides to become the best 127-pound football player Trout High has ever seen; to give his close-minded civics teacher a daily migraine; and to help the local drunk clean up his act. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; And then there's Dallas Suzuki. Amazingly perfect, fascinating Dallas Suzuki, who may or may not give Ben the time of day. Really, she's first on the list. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Living with a secret isn't easy, though, and Ben's resolve begins to crumble . . . especially when he realizes that he isn't the only person in Trout with secrets. &lt;/p&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[The good news is this is a great novel about life, death, and the truth that lies in between.  The voice of Ben is very strong: smart, sarcastic, and always searching for truth. The story itself is just fine as well with all the elements one expects in a Crutcher novel: the not quite perfect romance...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10184855">more...</a>]]></body>
