What to expect
Before he was diagnosed with ADHD, before he grew to be the tallest kid in his class, and before he and his best friends went into the woods in the middle of the night. Max can’t remember what happened after he left his friends Will and Joey

Knowing isn’t going to make Joey talk to him again, or bring Will out of his coma.
When the local authorities run out of leads, Max realizes that without his help, they may never know what really happened to Will. Charged by the idea that he may be the key to uncovering the truth, Max pairs up with classmate and aspiring
journalist Sam to investigate what really happened that night. But not everyone in the community wants that night to be remembered.
With A Perfect Mistake, Melanie Conklin delivers a moving novel about friendship, responsibility, and fighting against unfair expectations, for fans of Rebecca Stead and Erin Entrada Kelly.
