I wasn't going to include this book because it is a short story but since I include books that are sometimes 500 to 700 pages long, I figured this should count, too. My only complaint is that this book is too short. Just when you're settling in for the good read, it's over.
There is a high school boy injured in a football accident who now has to sit out the rest of the season. There is an old lady he lives by who is waging a constant battle against the leaves that cover her yard. And there is a violent ending.
If you haven't read Perrotta before, this is a great way to introduce yourself to his works.
8 down plus 44 to go.
