About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager feels like they are just drifting through life or struggling with a sense of worthlessness. Nineteen-year-old Ed Kennedy is a self-described underage cab driver with no real prospects until he accidentally stops a bank robbery and starts receiving mysterious playing cards in the mail. These cards lead him to strangers who need help, forcing him to step outside his own apathy and engage with the world. The story deals with deep emotional themes of purpose, kindness, and finding value in the ordinary. While it contains some rough language and gritty realism, its core message is profoundly hopeful and empowering for young adults searching for their place in the world.
