Time to Embark On a New Journey

Since I recently finished Bumped, I started a new book called No Man's Land, by S.T. Underdahl.  It's about a high schooler named Dov Howard.  He is treated in his family like a disappointment and in school, like a loser. His only friends are a bunch of emo kids, much like himself. Dov's brother, Brian, is the perfect son. For real. He's the school's football star and he has just been shipped off to Afghanistan. Now, everyday, the Howard family is worrying about him. The part I had to stop reading at is about Dov in his art class. The counselor, Mr. Kerr is standing at the door with a serious face, beckoning for Dov to come. I'm so frustrated that I had to stop here because, coincidentally, I was in art class when I read this. I'm really curious as to what happened, though. I'm guessing that something bad happened to Brian, judging by Mr. Kerr's stony expression and the fact that S. T. Underdahl was ranting about how worried Brian's family was, for about 10 pages. I hope this goes better than my previous book....
