After attempting suicide fifteen year old Jeff is placed in a secure psychiatric facility for forty five days.
It sounds a grim premise for a novel, but it isn't. It's well written; funny, sad, affecting, and bound--sooner or later--to be turned into a film (a cross between 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' and 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest').
Read it, do!
