An often hilarious and always relevant memoir about one teen boy's battle with brain cancer and his Starlight Children's Foundation wish: to meet Mikhail Gorbachev in Russia and plead for nuclear disarmament and world peace.

It's 1986, and Jeff is an average fifteen-year-old: he thinks a lot about dating, he bounces around with his friends, and he's trying his hardest to get a car. Conversely, the world around him feels crazy: the United States and the Soviet Union are at glaring odds, with their leaders in a standoff, and that awful word, "nuclear," is on everyone's mind. Then, boom--Jeff learns that he has brain cancer and it's likely terminal. Well, that puts a damper on his summer plans and romantic prospects, doesn't it?

Jeff's family rallies around him, but they are fiercely complicated--especially Jeff's father, a man who can't say "I love you" even during the worst of Jeff's treatment. So when the Starlight Children's Foundation offers to grant Jeff a wish, he makes one certain to earn his father's respect: he asks to travel to Moscow and meet with Mikhail Gorbachev to discuss nuclear disarmament and ending the Cold War. Nothing like achieving world peace to impress a distant father, right? Jeff has always been one to aim high.

Jeff's story is dark, but it's also funny, romantic, and surprising. As his life swings from incredibly ordinary to absolutely incredible, he grapples with the big questions of mortality, war, love, hope, and miracles.

Potential Fall Risk
Size: 2 pairs black L
While these socks do indeed help soften rough skin on your feet, there is a risk of falling while wearing them. Although they have treads on the bottom, which would indicate they’re safe to wear with nothing else, when you put moisturizer on and then wear them your foot can slip inside the sock . This causes you to lose your balance and fall, which happened to me. I’ve thrown them out.

I could be a foot model now!!!
Size: 1 pair black L
I wear work boots almost all of the time so I bought these to put on my feet with salycylic acid to moisturize and try to get rid of a stubborn corn on the ball of my foot. It helped drastically after a few nights of lounging in the house with them on.

Favorite treat
Flavor Name: Duck & Veggies, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
My dog loves these treats the best, and the spoiled pooch has tried many! I love that these are super small sized, not messy, and low calorie which allows for lots of reinforcement while training. I also appreciate that the ingredients are very clean.

Buy these only if you love your dog
Flavor Name: Duck & Veggies, Size: 5 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I was looking for a dog treat that didn’t have sugar. And let me tell you these training treats are not only delicious to the dogs, but I love that the ingredients do not include any sweetener. I don’t think it’s a good idea to give our dogs tons of sugar, unless we’re brushing their teeth every day like we do for our own teeth. So for the longevity of my puppies teeth, she’s gonna get these high-quality yummy Yum‘s. I love that I can break them apart and make more treats out of the treats they gave so the bag last for months, even with daily training.
