Sixteen-year-old Cameron has been happily coasting through life, but now, all of a sudden, he faces even more questions about his future than your average teenager. Cam has just been told he’s got Mad Cow disease, and is going to die. But just as he’s given this news, he is given a gift, as well, a visit from Dulcie, a punk angel/ possible hallucination. Dulcie has a bad sugar habit, and a hopeful message; there is help out there, if only Cam is willing to go in search of it. Accompanied by a dwarf who is obsessed both with death, and with video games, and armed with little more than a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the ultimate road trip. Will it lead him to the end of his life, or just the beginning? For those readers willing to go along for the ride, Bray’s novel offers the perfect combination of humor, and heart.
