The End of Fun

Everyday Reality is a Drag?. FUN®-the latest in augmented reality-is fun -YAY! but it|s also frustrating, glitchy, and dangerously addictive -BOO!. Just when everyone else is getting on, 17-year-old Aaron O|Faolain wants off. But first he has to complete his Application for Termination, and in order to do that he has to deal with his History-not to mention the present, including his grandfather|s suicide and a series of clues that may -or may not lead to buried treasure. As he attempts to unravel the mystery, Aaron is sidetracked again . . . and again. Shadowed by his virtual "best friend," Homie, Aaron struggles with love, loss, dog bites, community theater, wild horses, wildfires, and the fact -deep breath that actual reality can sometimes surprise you. Sean McGinty|s strikingly profound debut unearths a world that is eerily familiar, yet utterly original. Discover what it means to come to the end of fun.
