The Boy Who Could Never Die

Everybody gets one person who teaches them how to be brave. Scott got one summer. For fifteen-year-old Scott, the city is a labyrinth - concrete, broken promises, and the volatile shadow of his father's anger. Sent away for the summer to his grandparents' Missouri farm, he expects exile. What he finds instead is an untamed land, a family that keeps its word, and his cousin Allen: brave, reckless, and seemingly indestructible. The boy who could never die. >Twenty-two years later, Scott tells the story of the cousin who taught him how to stay - and of the phone call that split his life into before and after. The Boy Who Could Never Die is a clean, heartfelt coming-of-age novel about brotherhood, grief, and the people who build us. Perfect for readers who loved Ordinary Grace, A Painted House, and Peace Like a River - and for anyone who ever had one person who made them braver.
