&quot;S&amp;aacute;enz&apos; poetic narrative will captivate readers from the first sentence to the last paragraph of this beautifully written novel. . . . It is also a celebration of life and a song of hope in celebration of family and friendship, one that will resonate loud and long with teens."&amp;mdash;Kirkus Reviews &quot;&amp;hellip;There is never a question of either S&amp;aacute;enz&amp;rsquo;s own extraordinary capacity for caring and compassion or the authenticity of the experiences he records in this heartfelt account of healing and hope."&amp;mdash;Booklist &quot;Offering insight into [an adolescent&apos;s] addiction, dysfunction and mental illness, particularly in the wake of traumatic events, S&amp;aacute;enz&apos;s artful rendition of the healing process will not soon be forgotten."&amp;mdash;Publishers Weekly"S&amp;aacute;enz weaves together [18-year-old] Zach&apos;s past, present, and changing disposition toward his future with stylistic grace and emotional insight. This is a powerful and edifying look into both a tortured psyche and the methods by which it can be healed."&amp;mdash;School Library Journal Zach is eighteen. He is bright and articulate. He&apos;s also an alcoholic and in rehab instead of high school, but he doesn&apos;t remember how he got there. He&apos;s not sure he wants to remember. Something bad must have happened. Something really, really bad. Remembering sucks and being alive&amp;mdash;well, what&apos;s up with that? I have it in my head that when we&apos;re born, God writes things down on our hearts. See, on some people&apos;s hearts he writes Happy and on some people&apos;s hearts he writes Sad and on some people&apos;s hearts he writes Crazy on some people&apos;s hearts he writes Genius and on some people&apos;s hearts he writes Angry and on some people&apos;s hearts he writes Winner and on some people&apos;s hearts he writes Loser. It&apos;s all like a game to him. Him. God. And it&apos;s all pretty much random. He takes out his pen and starts writing on our blank hearts. When it came to my turn, he wrote. I don&apos;t like God very much. Apparently he doesn&apos;t like me very much either. Sad Benjamin Alire S&amp;aacute;enz is a prolific novelist, poet, and author of children&apos;s books. Sammy and Juliana in Hollywood, his first novel for young adults, was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Prize and a Young Adult Library Services Association Top Ten Books for Young Adults pick in 2005. <br/>
