Alright, I loved The Schwa Was Here, so I approached this book with high expectations. Antsy is a year older, a year wiser, and embroiled in another friendship with someone he needs to help, but, hey, he comes from a family of "fixers". This was a very cute story about Antsy's quest to give his dying friend more time--by donating a month of his life. This act of friendship starts a movement across his school. My biggest complaint were some serious editing errors--typos, really. Additionally, Mr. Shusterman really enjoys using commas w/ conjunctions to join independent & dependent clauses, which is overkill in the punctuation department. Remember, comma + conjunction = compound sentence (or a series, though that comma is now optional)
