There's a reason why Brewster can't have friends--why he can't care about too many people. Because when he cares about you, things start to happen. Impossible things that can't be explained. I know, because they're happening to me.

When Bronte starts dating Brewster "Bruiser" Rawlins--the guy voted Most Likely to Get the Death Penalty--her twin brother, Tennyson, isn't surprised. But then strange things begin to occur. Tennyson and Bronte's scrapes heal unnaturally fast, and cuts disappear before their eyes. What at first seems like their good fortune turns out to be more than they bargained for . . . much more.

Review:
"Shusterman's writing is wonderful and a joy to read. The subject matter makes this a great book discussion choice."--Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)

"Even as the narrative wrestles with philosophical and moral issues, it delves deep into the viewpoints of Tennyson, Bronte, Bruiser, and his younger brother, each segment told in a different, distinctive style, making for a memorable story."--Publishers Weekly

"The compelling issues and engaging premise make this a rewarding read."--ALA Booklist

"Shusterman's novel reveals its secrets and their implications slowly, allowing readers to connect the dots before the characters do and encouraging them to weigh the price of Bruiser's 'gift' against the freedom from pain that Tennyson and Bronte enjoy."--School Library Journal

"This eloquent and thoughtful story will most certainly leave its mark."--Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"This is a wrenching but ultimately redemptive look at how pain defines us and how love, whether familial, romantic or friendly, demands sacrifice and brings gifts of its own. Once again, Shusterman spins a fantastic tale that sheds light on everyday life."--Kirkus Reviews
