Product Description
Fueled by friendship and sympathy, Antsy Bonano signs a month of his life over to his ?dying? classmate Gunnar Umlaut. Soon everyone at school follows suit, giving new meaning to the idea of ?living on borrowed time.? But does Gunnar really have six months to live, or is news of his imminent death greatly exaggerated? When a family member suffers a heart attack after donating two years to Gunnar, Antsy wonders if he has tempted fate by playing God. Fans of ?the Schwa? will welcome favorite and new characters in this wholly fresh tale, which is as touchingly poignant as it is darkly comical.

another winner from Shusterman December 17, 2008
In this companion to Shusterman's award-winning The Schwa Was Here, the author returns to the life of Antsy, a Brooklyn 8th grader whose family runs a French-Italian fusion restaurant where he is expected to help out. Told in the first person, with a great sense of humor, the story revolves around Antsy and his Swedish classmate Gunnar. When Gunnar tells Antsy he has only 6 months to live, Antsy inadvertently starts a school-wide campaign to donate a month of your own life to extend Gunnar's. Things are further complicated when it turns out Antsy is falling for Gunnar's gorgeous older sister, Gunnar's father has lost his job and is gambling away the family money, and Gunnar isn't really dying after all. This novel is very funny, with plenty of quirky characters and situations, yet still very believable. The author skillfully mixes humor with series situations such as possible death, compulsive gambling, and divorce. Perfect for middle-school boys or girls.
