Going Bovine
This Michael L. Printz Award-winning novel by Libba Bray follows Cameron Smith, a cynical sixteen-year-old high school student diagnosed with Creutzfeldt-Jakob (mad cow) disease. Experiencing vivid hallucinations, Cameron is visited by a punk-angel who sends him on a surreal road trip quest accompanied by a video-game-obsessed dwarf and a yard-statue gnome. Blending dark comedy, satire, and magical realism, the story explores themes of mortality, friendship, and discovering meaning in the face of tragedy.
