Walker is shocked to find Jesus standing in the middle of his bedroom. Granted he did pray for help for his mom who hasn't stopped crying since his brother died two months ago. But he didn't expect Jesus to show up.
And that's just the start.
Jesus is determined to help Walker -- just not in the way he expects. He wants him to adopt a dog. He wants him to play basketball and hit on a pretty girl. What he doesn't want is to reveal himself to Walker's mom.
This was a very interesting book on a boy dealing with issues of grief, religion, guilt, and family relationships. It is a very quick read as it is written in verse. Each poem is short and to the point while revealing a lot about Walker and his situation.
