內容簡介:
Can Cameron find what he’s looking for?
All
16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in
general—with a minimum of effort. It’s not a lot to ask. But that’s
before he’s given some bad news: he’s sick and he’s going to die.
Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a
loopy punk angelpossible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She
tells Cam there is a cure—if he’s willing to go in search of it.
With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard
gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a
twisted America into the heart of what matters most.
