Summary This book is about a teenager named Zach Wahstead who has schizophrenia. He finds himself a hostage in the middle of an armed robbery inside a coffee shop that he goes to every day after school. The situation gets very tense when Zach, who is supposed to take his medication everyday after school, isn't allowed to get it. Cops and tanks arrive at the coffee shop making the robbers look for a way out of it, and one of them ends up getting shot.
Personal Reaction I really liked this book. I was cracking up when i read it because of some of the things that Zach, the kid with schizophrenia, say to the two robbers. I thought that the ending was kind of disappointing because one of the robbers ended up committing suicide. The robbers were only kids and they only did it to try and pay for their moms hospital bills since she has cancer. It was kind of a sad book but I still found it pretty humorous.
