FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Fifteen-year-old Kermit Sanders knows grief and its all-encompassing shadows. After losing his beloved older sister in a tragic car accident, nothing quite punctures through the feelings of loss. Everywhere Kermit goes, he is reminded of her.But then Kermit finds a mysterious invitation in his locker, signed anonymously with "-1." He has no idea what hes in for, but he shows up to find out. Dubbed the "Minus-One Club," a group of his schoolmates has banded together as a form of moral support. The members have just one thing in common-they have all suffered the tragic loss of someone they loved.The usual dividing lines between high school classes and cliques dont apply inside the Minus-One Club, and Kermits secret crush, the handsome and happy-go-lucky Matt (and only out gay student at school), is also a part of the group. Slowly, Matts positive headstrong approach to life helps relieve Kermit of his constant despair.But as Kermit grows closer to Matt, the light of his new life begins to show the cracks beneath the surface. When Matt puts himself in danger by avoiding his feelings, Kermit must find the strength to not only lift himself back up but to help the rest of the group from falling apart.
