Who doesn't see the humor in toilet paper? Death by toilet paper? Funny, right? Wrong...
Quickly readers realize that Benjamin has had some loss in his life. Ben and his mom are left struggling emotionally and financially after the death of his father. Ben feels the weight of their financial struggles and vows to do whatever he can to help them keep their apartment, the last place they shared memories with his dad.
I loved this read. I wanted to find Benjamin and hug him at the end of each chapter. Maybe not from death, but there are LOTS of students who need this book...need to see that there are other families and kids struggling financially. I was instantly in love with and rooting for Benjamin to succeed with his plans to make money for the family.
