Dead Ends

Dead Ends by Erin Jade Lange, 328 pages

Dane always seems to be angry, and when he’s angry, he usually hits someone. Billy D., however, is an exception. Even though he is often angry at Billy, Dane never hits him. Billy has Down syndrome but he doesn’t let that stop him. In fact, he blackmails Dane into helping him find his father, even when Dane starts to suspect that something might not be right about the situation and even when helping Billy might get Dane expelled.
