Shortlisted for the Michael L. Printz Award (2011).

From the moment you are born you start to die. So says Pierre Anthon when he decides there is no meaning to life, leaves the classroom, climbs a plum tree and stays there. His friends and classmates cannot get him to come down—not even by pelting him with rocks. To prove to him that there is a meaning to life, they set out to build a heap of meaning in an abandoned sawmill. But it soon becomes obvious that each person cannot give up what is most meaningful and events begin to spiral out of control.
