Product Description
Jared Whitcomb is a chain-smoking sixteen-year-old heart-transplant recipient who befriends Sebastian, and begins to teach him about all the things he has been missing, including grape soda, girls, and Sid Vicious. They form a punk band called The Rash, and it’s clear that the upcoming Methodist Church talent show has never seen the likes of them. Wholly original, The House of Tomorrow is the story of a young man’s self-discovery, a dying woman’s last wish, and a band of misfits trying desperately to be heard.

ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT
This is wonderful debut with a unique voice. I think it is somewhere between The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
PLEASE READ THIS BOOK! You won’t be disappointed…well, you might be if you like normal.

sounds great!
This sounds great! Amy Einhorn books has been making quite a splash these days…
I felt exactly the same way! Also the best book I have read so far this year!
I’m anything but normal, so I’ll probably like it. 🙂
Thanks for the recommendation. It looks like the kind of tale my daughter would enjoy. She would definitely relate to the geeky tones noted. I’ll add this to the list.
I have an ARC of this, and once I finish all of those other ARCs, I’m really excited to get to it.
