      About the Book

      Edit

      Mattheo Carter is a lonely teenager, who just repeats the same routine over and over. At school, he’s known to fall asleep in the back of any class. At home, his bad relationship with his mother causes him to lash out often. The only person he makes an effort to talk to consistently is his sister, who’s basically his best friend. More like his only friend. Mattheo wouldn’t say he’s happy with the way his life is playing out, but he hasn’t made a move to change anything. The worst could happen if his mother finally decides she’s had enough, or his school loses their patience with him; So he attempts to disappear. He stopped talking, stopped making an effort to sit with other students, and resisted the urge to completely collapse at his desk and fall asleep. His plan had been working well, that was until he stayed up too late the night before and slipped into unconsciousness in the back of his last period class.
      Mattheo’s done his very best to slip under the radar, but everyone needs to talk eventually. What can he say? Everyone messes up.
