When Arthur discovers an enigmatic poem written by his grandfather--a Salinger-like cult writer who succumbed to Alzheimer's then disappeared to and died in, of all places, Ohio--the eighteen-year-old decides to retrace his steps via Amtrak. Miller peppers his well-paced chapters with Arthur's grandfather's poetry. This earnest homage to writers, rebels, and the evergreen ideals of youth will appeal to fans of John Green and Gayle Forman.
