33 Minutes

<b>This school-based boy friendship story is &quot;funny, fast-paced, and quite poignant&quot; (R. J. Palacio, author of <i>Wonder</i>) .</b><br><br>Sam Lewis is going to get his butt kicked in exactly thirty-three minutes. He knows this because yesterday his former best friend Morgan Sturtz told him, to his face and with three witnesses nearby, &quot;I am totally going to kick your butt tomorrow at recess.&quot;<br> <br>All that's standing between Sam and this unfortunate butt-kicking is the last few minutes of social studies and his lunch period. But how did Sam and Morgan end up here? How did this happen just a few months after TAMADE (The Absolutely Most Amazing Day Ever) , when they became the greatest <i>Alien Wars</i> video game team in the history of great <i>Alien Wars</i> teams? And once the clock ticks down, will Morgan actually act on his threat?<br> <br>Told with equal parts laugh-out-loud humor and achingly real emotional truth, <i>33 Minutes</i> shows how even the best of friendships can change forever.
