Winner of the 2012 Newbery Medal and the Scott O'Dell Award for Historical Fiction. Melding the entirely true and the wildly fictional, "Dead End in Norvelt" chronicles an incredible two months for a kid named Jack Gantos, who makes readers laugh out loud at the most unexpected things in a dead-funny depiction of growing up in a slightly off-kilter place.
