Synopsis

It was a dumb idea, but one of those dumb ideas that accidentally turns out to be brilliant–which, I’ve come to realize, is much worse than being dumb. My name’s Antsy Bonano–but you probably already know that–and unless you got, like, memory issues, you’ll remember the kid named the Schwa, who I told you about last time. Well, now there’s this other kid, and his story is a whole lot stranger. It all started when Gunnar Ümlaut and I were watching three airborne bozos struggle with a runaway parade balloon. That’s when Gunnar tells me he’s only got six months to live. Maybe it was because he said he was living on borrowed time, or maybe it was just because I wanted to do something meaningful for him, but I gave him a month of my life . . .

. . . And that’s when things began to get seriously weird.

Goodreads review by Josiah on February 23, 2023

Nowhere are Neal Shusterman's Brooklyn roots more apparent than in his Antsy Bonano books. Shusterman has said Antsy is his favorite character, and I can see why: the fourteen-year-old city kid is the embodiment of Brooklyn attitude and charm, toughness tempered by uncommon intelligence and sparklin......more

Goodreads review by Alicia on December 28, 2010

In this sequel to The Schwa was Here, Antsy narrates the story of his friendship with Gunnar, his sister Kjersten, and his parents. Schwa was touching and so is Gunnar's situation-- as he has six months to live. Antsy is a softie at heart and writes up a contract to donate a month of his life to Gun......more
