New paperback in new condition!
This year's "Reading the West" winner rushes from brash to breathtaking in what Kirkus calls a "superbly well-balanced narrative."
Dirt bike daredevil Arlo Santiago crashed and burned the day his mother died. When he catches the eye of the U.S. military with his first-place ranking on a video game featuring drone warfare, he must reconcile the work they want him to do with his emotional scars. Arlo craves speed, yet everything inside him says to throttle back, because there's too much he can't control: a father who drinks, a dangerously ill sister, and Lee, a girl who refuses to let Arlo run from his past.
ADIOS, NIRVANA author Conrad Wesselhoeft takes readers from the dusty arroyos of New Mexico to the skies over war-torn Pakistan in this young adult novel about daring to live in the wake of unbearable loss.
The mesmerizing descriptions of Arlo’s New Mexico . . . and giddy exhilaration when he's riding his Yamaha bike . . . will keep readers in the thrill of the moment.
