Text me back.</i> That's the last message Carver Briggs will ever send his three best friends, Mars, Eli, and Blake. He never thought that it would lead to their death. <p/>Now Carver can't stop blaming himself for the accident and even worse, a powerful judge is pressuring the district attorney to open up a criminal investigation. <p/>Luckily, Carver has some unexpected allies: Eli's girlfriend, the only person to stand by him at school; Dr. Mendez, his new therapist; and Blake's grandmother, who asks Carver to spend a "goodbye day" together to share their memories and say a proper farewell. <p/>Soon the other families are asking for their own goodbye day with Carver--but he's unsure of their motives. Will they all be able to make peace with their losses, or will these goodbye days bring Carver one step closer to a complete breakdown or--even worse--prison?<br><b><br>"Hold on to your heart: this book will wreck you, fix you, and most definitely change you." --Becky Albertalli, Morris Award-winning author of <i>Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b><b>Jeff Zentner, you perfectly fill the John-Green-sized hole in our heart.</b> --<i>Justine Magazine</i><b> <p/>"Evocative, heartbreaking, and beautifully written.</b> --<i>Buzzfeed</i> <p/><b>Masterful</b>. --<i>Teen Vogue</i> <p/>"<b>Tender, honest, moving, and lyrical</b>. <b>Zentner is the real thing</b>."</b> <i>--</i>Benjamin Alire Sáenz, winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction and Printz Honor winner<b> <p/>An Indie Next List Selection</b> <p/><b>Zentner does an excellent job in creating empathetic characters</b>, especially his protagonist Carver, a budding writer whose first-person account of his plight is artful evidence of his talent.--<i>Booklist</i>, Starred <p/>Racial tensions, spoiled reputations, and broken homes all play roles in an often <b>raw meditation on grief and the futility of entertaining what-ifs </b>when faced with awful, irreversible events.--<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, Starred <p/><b>[E]xquisite and tragic</b>. -<i>Shelf Awareness, </i>Starred <p/>[A] novel <b>full of wisdom</b>. --<i>Kirkus <p/></i>[The] kind of <b>intelligent, intense, and life-affirming</b> tale that will resonate with teens seeking depth and honesty. --<i>SLJ <b> <p/></b></i>An <b>organic, frequently raw</b> narrative. -<i>Horn Book <p/></i><b>Tissues not optional. </b>--<i>The Bulletin<b><br></b></i> <p/>Praise for Jeff Zentner's <i>The Serpent King</i><br><b><br><b><b><b>A William C.
