It really is hard to get outside your comfort zone at times. The main character (Will) is bullied about his chin which does not look like other peoples. He has to complete a service project for his bat mitzvah and it could not be worse. He has to spend time with a terminally ill boy. As someone who is opposed to hospitals in all ways because his father went in for surgery and never came out this is especially difficult. It quickly becomes apparent that RJ has a bucket list. On this bucket list are all the things he wants to accomplish in his life. Will has to come out of his self-imposed shell to accomplish these amazing feats. Through each challenge Will learns what it that maybe coming out of your shell is not that bad. I would say this book falls into upper middle and young adult.

Triggers: Terminal Illness, Death of a Parent
