Ever since his mother died, he's been disrespected by his father and bullied by his self-absorbed older brother, so he withdraws from his fractured family, seeking refuge in his art.</p><p>Vance wishes his younger brother would just loosen up and be cool. It was hard enough to deal with their mother's death without Oscar getting all emotional. At least when Vance pushes himself in lacrosse and parties, he feels alive.</p><p>But when their father's alcoholism sends him into liver failure, the two brothers must come face-to-face with their demons--and each other--if they are going to survive a very uncertain future.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>-<i>Ultimatum</i> will appeal to a broad range of readers interested in complex family relationships- - <strong><em> VOYA Magazine</em></strong><br><br>-Saturated with emotion . . . a heart-wrenching portrait of a dysfunctional family and its destructive force- - <strong><em> Publishers Weekly, starred review</em></strong><br><br>-There are plenty of teen novels in which parents die; however, this is a cut above as its main characters must struggle through loss twice and navigate decisions normally consigned to adults.- - <strong><em> Booklist</em></strong><br><br>-Walton creates flawed, realistic characters that invite readers to root for them- - <strong><em> Kirkus</em></strong><br><br>"There are plenty of teen novels in which parents die; however, this is a cut above as its main characters must struggle through loss twice and navigate decisions normally consigned to adults." - <strong><em> Booklist</em></strong><br><br>"Saturated with emotion . . . a heart-wrenching portrait of a dysfunctional family and its destructive force" - <strong><em> Publishers Weekly, starred review</em></strong><br><br>"<i>Ultimatum</i> will appeal to a broad range of readers interested in complex family relationships" - <strong><em> VOYA Magazine</em></strong><br><br>"Walton creates flawed, realistic characters that invite readers to root for them" - <strong><em> Kirkus</em></strong><br>
