 It’s about a boy, Todd Hewitt, who is the last boy in Prentisstown, a town with no women. (shock, horror!)he will be a man in 31 days but Prentisstown is dying, all because of the Spackle.

This book is a work of art.  It’s one of the best books i’ve ever read and i encourage everyone else to read it. I lives up to the first line more than i can imagine.
