Saint Iggy

Saint Iggy by K. L. Going

Iggy Corso needs a plan. He's been kicked out of school permanently and is scheduled for a hearing with the school superintendent. His parents won't be there; his mom's off "visiting someone," run off more likely, and his dad is always drunk or stoned. He can't reach his social worker since his phone's been cut off. Iggy's principal told him he was basically a good kid who needed "to do something to contribute to the world."

Iggy's makeshift plan is:1)make a plan 2) get out of the projects 3) do something with my life 4) change everyone's mind about me 5) get back into school

So Iggy visits his only friend, Montell, a college dropout who is into pot and renunciation. He spends the week before Christmas trying to find enlightenment and following Montell around trying to protect him from destroying himself with drugs and drug dealers. You'll love Iggy and you won't be able to put the book down.

Are any of you list makers???
