Moving on to adulthood is a tough enough endeavor as is--let alone
when your world radically changes. "Wish You Were Here"
follows Jackson Watt in his senior year, as he's ripped from the
school he attended for most of his high school career and plopped down
elsewhere. One disaster after another happens to him, leaving him with
little hope for the future. When faced with a road trip, he starts to
learn what it means to be an adult. "Wish You Were Here" is a
deftly composed coming of age tale, sure to please young adult readers.
