Going Bovine

I've been a real reading slacker lately, but I did just finish Going Bovine by Libba Bray. It was the 2010 Printz Award winner (best book for young adults). It's about a 16-year-old boy, Cameron, who is basically a serious slacker. When he winds up with Mad Cow disease and a grim prognosis, he sets off on a crazy road trip to find a cure and save the world with a dwarf, a yard gnome, and a very unique angel.
