Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine.
My pick for this week is:
Dane Washington is one
suspension away from expulsion. In a high school full of “haves,” being a
“have not” makes Dane feel like life is hurtling toward one big dead
end. Billy D. spends his high school days in Special Ed and he’s not
exactly a “have” himself. The biggest thing Billy’s missing? His dad.
Billy is sure the riddles his father left in an atlas are really clues
to finding him again and through a bizarre turn of events, he talks Dane
into joining him on the search.
A bully and a boy with Down syndrome makes for an unlikely friendship, but together, they work through the clues, leading to unmarked towns and secrets of the past. But they’re all dead ends. Until the final clue . . . and a secret Billy shouldn’t have been keeping.
As a journalist, Erin Jade Lange is inspired by hot button issues like bullying, but it is her honest characters and breakneck plotting that make Dead Ends a must-read.

There are several reasons that I'm excited to read this book. First, it's by Erin Jade Lange, and I thought her debut Butter was an awesome book. Second, it's told in male POV, which I enjoy reading in. Third, I love the cover.
