The Last of Will by Sheryl Benko - Book Tour + Giveaway
Young Adult
Date Published: April 26 2018
Greer Sarazen is like any teenager. All she wants is to get her driver's license, to not be bugged by annoying people, and to NOT have her spring break interrupted. Yet, when her dad, Will – who has been unemployed due to downsizing – finally gets a job at the local cemetery, Greer is forced to tag along on a road trip to deliver a stranger’s ashes out of state. A stranded van, a clown, a rodeo, a disco-dancing nerd and a belligerent dwarf threaten to throw off the itinerary, while the departed “passenger” becomes an unexpected friend … proving that, sometimes, the things we truly need are the last things we would ever expect.
Excerpt
“Dad, I’m not kidding! He’s a psycho midget
Eskimo! I saw him, like, three times!”
“All right,
calm down,” Dad insists. “First of all, the appropriate term is ‘little
person.’”
“Oh come on!
We’re gonna do this now?? Our lives are in danger and you want to be
politically correct?”
“Indulge me,
like I indulge you,” Dad implores. “And if you want to get technical, was he a
midget? Or a dwarf?”
“There’s a
difference?”
“Yes. Were
his limbs proportional?”
“I don’t
know,” I admit. “I couldn’t tell, with his parka.”
“He wore a
parka?”
“He wears it
all the time.”
“Ah,” Dad catches
on. “Which is why he must be an Eskimo, right?”
“Ex-actly.”
