Description
How do you know when someone is popular? When his death changes the lives of people who didn't even know him.
Bob and Pete weren't nearly popular enough to know Todd, and yet his mysterious death has changed everything, including their friendship.
Suddenly lines are being crossed. As Bob finds himself in the elite crowd, dating Ellen Trumbull, Pete sees the girl of his dreams and his best friend slipping away. Is it possible for Bob and Pete to let girls into their lives and still remain best friends? Does change mean the end? If any of them could ask Todd Woods, maybe he could tell them.
Advance Praise
"Taylor channels the thoughts, feelings and perspective of the male teenager so effectively that the reader may experience acute nostalgia--whether positive or negative--for his or her early teen days.... The real subject of this coming-of-age novel is the precarious evolution of male friendship. A heartfelt yet unsentimental look at the lives and loves of American adolescents." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Tom Taylor has given Young Adult readers a new and thought provoking novel. In Memory of Todd Woods is about friendships, love, loss, and learning to handle the changes that are natural in our lives.... Taylor has written a novel that is fast paced and has a story in which many YA readers will be able to see themselves. High school is a fun, exciting, and hard time. Friendships change when romantic relationships start to become important. Readers will be drawn into the lives of Bob and his friends." --Writer's Digest
