His friends and classmates cannot get him to come down, not even by pelting him with rocks. So to prove to him that there is a meaning to life, they set out to give up things of importance, challenging one another to make increasingly serious sacrifices. The pile is started with a lifetime's collection of Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons books, a fishing rod, a pair of green sandals, a pet hamster--but then, as each demand becomes more extreme, events take a morbid twist. And what if, after all these sacrifices, the pile is still not meaningful enough to bring Pierre Anthon down?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJanne Teller was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, and has written several award-winning novels that have been translated into a number of languages. \u003ci\u003eNothing\u003c\/i\u003e is the winner of the prestigious Best Children's Book Award from the Danish Cultural Ministry and is also a Printz Award Honor Book in the United States.
