Publisher Description

About a book
This is a novel about a boy named Will and a man named Marcus... Wait, I mixed that up. The story tells the struggles of a boy named Marcus who seems to be an outcast of sorts as he and his hippy mom move to London. Through a tangled web, Marcus meets Will and slowly become acquaintances that utilize one another to make their life easier.
This is a great novel, as a guy who rarely reads, nights would go by where I would have to put my phone away because my eyes could barely keep open as i read into the early morning hours.
It seems to be a short book, and not life changing. If you can find it at your local library I suggest you pick it up, not necessarily worth the 12 or 13 dollar prices on iTunes.
