Among the things he wants to do: ride a roller coaster, go to a school dance, swim in the ocean. To Will, happiness is hanging out in his room, alone, preferably with the turtles he collects. But as RJ's disease worsens, Will realizes he needs to tackle the bucket list on his new friend's behalf before it's too late. It seems like an impossible mission, way outside Will's comfort zone. But as he completes each task with RJ's guidance, Will learns that life is too short to live in a shell. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Everyone deserves a friend like Will Levine.\" \u003c\/b\u003e--Lynne Kelly, author of \u003ci\u003eSong for a Whale\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eM.
