      abstract = {"Seventeen-year-old Riggle is living in rural Indiana with  his uncle and uncle's girlfriend after the death of both of  his parents. Now his uncle has gone missing, probably on a  drug binge. It's Monday, and $800 in rent is due Friday.  Riggle, who's been suspended from school, has to either  find his uncle or get the money together himself. His  mission exposes him to a motley group of Opioid  locals--encounters by turns perplexing, harrowing, and  heartening. Meanwhile, Riggle marks each day by remembering  the mythology his late mother invented for him about how  the days got their names. With amazing directness and  insight, Carr explores what it's like to be a high school  kid in in the age of Trump, a time of economic inequality,  addiction, confederate flags, and mass shootings. A work of  empathy and insight that pierces to the heart of our moment  through an unforgettable protagonist"--},
