Antsy does Time by Neal Shusterman
Dec 22nd 2008gibsonLove stories & Realistic Fiction & comedy
This was my favorite book read over the holidays. I think the main character, Antsy, is my favorite main character of all time. Antsy finds out that a friend of his only has 6 months to live so Antsy comes up with the idea of ‘giving’ him a month of his own life. It just gets stranger after that. Antsy dates his friends older sister, becomes famous, pours water on the wrong person and on and on. Read it, you’ll love it!
