Gotta go for the underdog!

I vowed that if I ever got a girl I would treat her right and never be bad or dirty to her or hurt her, ever.

Boys are like dogs—ready to bite, bark and beg to be given a chance to show their value ...

Cameron Wolfe is a dirty boy. He knows it. His brother Rube knows it because he’s one too. They could change—but what would it take?

A special anniversary edition of the debut novel by best-selling author, Markus Zusak.
