false <![CDATA[Going Bovine]]> 6512140 4 <i>Can Cameron find what he’s looking for?<br><br></i>All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s before he’s given some bad news: he’s sick and he’s going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most. 4733312 book 22 9 2009 Going Bovine total:419|5:121|4:136|3:95|2:48|1:19| 419 1549 1670 196 5 14 false false Fri Apr 10 14:05:52 -0700 2009 Sun May 31 11:11:55 -0700 2009
