Refreshing for boys--reality and a fable at the same time

This is Susie Morgenstern's first published young adult book in the U.S. In it, William get suspended for telling his teacher the truth about what he was thinking at the particular moment he was thinking it. During his three days off, he just lets life take him to unpredictable places. That's where he meets a few different folks who basically all tell him not to waste his life--to study, to think, to get educated. The book is a fun, fast read, honest!and Morgenstern's quirky funny sense of people is what comes through. Her gift is that she can allow heavy things to feel lighter. This other guy's review didn't say much and only serves to discourage boys who have something to learn about life--from reading this book!
