Rotters by Daniel Kraus

I have just finished reading this book for the book club at my local libray and I have found it amazing. The first part is all about Joey Crouch trying to fiqure out how to live in a new city without his mother. He is forced to move to Bloughton, Iowa to live with his dad who he knows nothing about. He learns that his father is a Digger, or a grave robber, and he has to learn how to take on what his father does. His father teaches him leassons and trys to show him how the real world works. In the meantime Joey is just to fit into this small town, and his new school where the only friend he can find is another kdi who gets picked on who now hids in the shadows, Foley. His best friend Borris from his home in Chicago, has changed and is now not helping Joey at all.  He also is getting himself into trouble by talking to Celeste Carperter, who was dating Joeys' biggest bully but now is just trying to use Joey to get her dream and become a dancer. Now Joey must fiqure out how to deal with not only school but also his father. As this book gets to an end it becomes crazy, Joeys' life starts to spin out of control, and even changes, for the better?
