(2) YA Max Friedman is continually taunted by his dead mother's tumor, which he believes is inside his brian. After transferring to an arts school, he participates with five new eccentric friends in the school's Gothic/steampunk production of Hamlet. This compounds Max's growing existential crisis until he's forced to finally confront his loss and grief. Pixley's poetic prose is full of raw emotions, vivid imagery, and a touch of morbid humor.
