Description: FREE SHIPPING UK WIDE Thirty to Sixty Days by Alikay Wood Facing imminent death from a parasitic infection, three teenagers elect to spend their final days on a madcap adventure, and discover a lot about themselves along the way. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Hattie Larken doesnt know if shes ever really been real in her life. A compulsive liar with a quick-witted response to everything, shes willing to do whatever it takes to just skate through the rest of high school until she can graduate and escape it all: the mind-numbing monotony of this town, the guilt of everything that happened with her dad, and the debt that her moms dealing with that she feels responsible for.But then Hattie finds out shes dying. Not like in that overdramatic way that people sometimes say theyre dying. Shes literally dying. Apparently, she was exposed to a parasite because of a mistake her moms company made. (And no, the irony of that all is not lost on Hattie...) And shes not the only one. Two other kids from her class also have been exposed to the parasite: Carmen, who seems to be totally perfect, with the class presidency, a loving family, and a totally beautiful girlfriend; and Albie, a quiet kid who survived childhood cancer only to deal with this, which feels like an incredibly cruel joke from the universe.Hattie, Albie, and Carmen are told they only have thirty to sixty days to live. But instead of just sitting around a hospital and waiting to die, the three kids form an unlikely alliance to live the last days of their lives out to the fullest. Stealing and sailing a boat to Miami? Absolutely. Adopting the turtle that a random college student hands to them? Of course-they couldnt leave Scooter to fend for himself! Sneaking into the sold-out music festival in town? You better believe it! And if Hattie just happens to find a way to raise some money for her mom through filming all their misadventures-well, shes not going to not do that then.Snarky, bold, and deeply real, Thirty to Sixty Days examines the ways that three teens grapple with the thread of imminent death-and how each ultimately discovers what life ought to be. Author Biography Alikay Wood was once described by a wedding DJ as "five feet of fury." When shes not shredding up dance floors, shes writing books about friendship and "unlikeable" girls. She lives in California and is probably currently avoiding writing by rollerblading, crushing trivia competitions, or camping. Thirty to Sixty Days is her first book.
