Jim is a fourteen year old piece of crap. At least that’s what all of the ghosts tell him after he has been run over. While his body is lying in the road dying, Jim is taken to a place where he can relive the moments in his life that have brought him to his current situation…i.e. a piece of crap dying in the road.
It sounds like to it would be really dark and not just a little bit like A Christmas Carol, but it’s not. Somehow the story ends up being funny and interesting. Scrimger finds a way to tell the story of an as yet unrepentant bully, illustrate what could make a person act the way he does, and at the same time make the reader laugh. This book is a must read for everyone!
