Plot
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. The boy in the book—Jason Miller—is having a bad day. It's not that he doesn't feel like himself, he actually isn't himself. Everything has changed. His friend Ethan dies. Jason really isn't himself all of a sudden. So he starts wondering who he is (he just doesn't know). And to make matters worse, it's not just him; it seems that everyone in town is acting weird, including his friends and family.[1]
