Wade Jackson just lost his mother. In the chaos that follows the death of a loved one, Wade finds himself being pulled in two different directions with two different ambitions: to do excellent in school or to play his guitar and sing music.

Wade has to decide which ambition to pursue and which will benefit not only himself but humanity, as well.

Petrucha writes an intriguing novel that has an interesting set-up. Every other chapter is told from the different Wade. The first starts with the musician Wade, who doesn't care about school or rules, and the second chapter - with a different font to distinguish between the two Wades - is about the A+ student.

Setting up the book in this interesting way is confusing at first, but it soon sucks the reader in. This interesting novel is sure to please any who are willing to get submerged in an alternate reality-type story with many twists and turns.
