This week's book pick is Ostrich Boys by Keith Gray.

Sim, Kenny, and Black can't believe the funeral they've just attended for their best friend Ross, who was killed in a car accident. Did all the people who were there and said nice things about him actually even care about Ross? What about the history teacher who was always yelling at him? The bully who made his life miserable? The girlfriend who just broke up with him? As far as Blake, Kenny, and Sim are concerned, nobody cared about Ross like they did. And the only way to give Ross a send-off that's worthy of him is to take his ashes to Ross, Scotland, a town Ross himself said he always meant to travel to. But not too long into their journey, they realize they're in over their heads. And did they really know Ross like they think they did?
