Lucky Linderman doesn't want to wake up.

Lucky Linderman has been the target of Nader McMillan's relentless bullying for as long as he can remember. But he has a secret-one that helps him wade through the mundane torture of his life. In his dreams, Lucky escapes to the war-ridden jungles of Laos, where his grandfather, who never came home from the Vietnam War, is still trapped. There, Lucky can be a real man and maybe even a hero. But how long can he keep hiding in his dreams before reality forces its way inside? Printz Honor recipient A.S. King's boldly original writing shines in this powerful novel about learning to cope with the shrapnel life throws at you-and taking a stand against it.
