Holy cow, and I mean mad cow. When I passed this on in discussion to some non-teaching types, they didn't get what kind of a dynamite story could ensue. Hope I get a punk angel of my own when the time comes. Janet Moore-Hopkinton MHS

Totally agree, as soon as I started reading this book I thought what a great voice, and I loved the ending. This book as gotten a lot of great press and it deserves it. - Susan - Seabrook

I adored this book- and the students at my high school are going mad (cow) for it, too!! Truly, the most fabulous book I've read so far this year!!! - Pam, Plymouth Regional High School Library

I just couldn't get into this but that's just one reader. -Amy Inglis

Synopsis: Cameron, a slacker who likes to slide through life with the least possible effort, learns that he has mad cow disease (Creutfeldt-Jakob) which is slowly eating his brain. After he is admitted to the hospital, he learns that he needs to save the world and find the mysterious doctor X to cure his disease and his adventures begin. Over time he acquires several companions, Gonzo a dwarf, Balder a lawn gnome, and Dulcie an angel, who help him in his quest…  Review: I found this title amusing and fun to read, from talking to others who have read this book, I think that it is a book that you either really like or dislike. This book would appeal to both boys and girls, is appropriate for high school students, and would be a good addition to the list. ~ Sharon Flesher-Duffy, Nashua High South

I would LOVE to see this on the list. Fantastic voice. - Kelly Budd, KHS

I LOVED this book! I think the offbeat humor and realistic characters make this a shoo-in for the list. I think it would have strong boy appeal. Kathy Pearce ORHS
