Title: A lot of lying
Review: I'm a mom with a family of boys.The book is poorly developed. There is hardly time to know the characters' names before they are flying off on their bicycles, daring one another to dangerous stunts. One boy dies, the other faces a lifetime of regret.There is a lot of lying in this book. After 12-year-old Tony died, no amount of Joel telling the truth would have brought him back; still the lying and the lying and the lying piles up.This is trying to be a psychological story, but the characters are so shallow (and frankly, so unlikable) that the end of the book is a giant "who cares?"Much doubt about heaven and salvation coming from the dad.I don't usually recommend Stephen King for kids, but if you are giving them a book on a kid dying young and the psychological stuff that goes along with that, then try "The Body," a short story in the Stephen King collection "Different Seasons." Parents should pre-read.
