Query: Great 1st novel from the premier voice of YA literature

Steve has a problem, he's flunking out of school, he just lost his girlfriend and his father (a famous astronaut) is on his back {again}...so to right the ship Steve's counselor asks him to write a 100- page paper about his life, but when Steve starts to write about his life he starts to find out a lot about himself, maybe too much!A great look at the social intricacies of high school from the "trendy girls," to the "it's better to burn out than fade away" philosophy running rampant in today's teenagers. Steve is just raging full of potential, but he harbors the modern day slacker mentality...the mixture is wonderful and it makes this book work on all levels. By the end of the book, you'll stop wondering about that funky title and you'll be glad you picked this book up!Be sure to pick up Thomas' other books, to include _Slave Day_, _Satellite Down_, and _Green Thumb_.
