Publisher Description

Winner of the National Book Award, Pete Hautman pens a futuristic satire brimming with wry humor and honored by a Booklist starred review. Welcome to the United Safer States of America in 2076! Here, prisoners perform all manual labor. And the country is finally safe. Sixteen-year-old Bo ignores governmental protective devices capturing every action and word. He endures the avalanche of safety regulations. But when he's accused of spreading a rash at school, anger and jealousy threaten to override his daily dose of calming Levulor and earn him a "job" in the Canadian tundra.

"This is a very good book. I can relate to it because I remember the first time I was trying to play football. This book is also very funny and awesome. It's probably the best book I've ever read. The reason why it wasn't 4 stars was because I did not like the ending at all."

    " A fun, fast-paced novel that is also a quite thoughtful parody as it explores the repurcussions of over-protecting our society. "

    " While I didn't think this was the greatest book when I read it a few years ago, I continue to find myself reflecting on it. The way we are teaching our kids that the world is a dangerous place and to be very careful primarily, but also the McDonaldization of the world. "

    " The was a very original book. Bo is an interesting main character, and the world is definitely interesting, but the plotline seemed a little... distracted. First the focus seems the rash, then football, then escape... A good read, but inconlusive. "
