Reading Level: Young Adult
(4 out of 5)
This book chronicles fifteen year old Jeff's 45 day stay in the psychiatric ward of the hospital. He wakes up there on New Years Day after having tried to commit suicide. He doesn't understand why he is there. He doesn't think he belongs with the rest of the "nut jobs" as he calls them. From the start of the book you wonder what would have compelled him to take his own life. Slowly the wall that Jeff has built up around him starts to crumble and you get to know the real him. Jeff starts to realize that suicide was not the answer.
