His friends and classmates cannot get him to come down, not even by pelting him with rocks. So to prove to him that there is a meaning to life, they set out to give up things of importance, challenging one another to make increasingly serious sacrifices. The pile is started with a lifetime’s collection of Dungeons \u0026amp; Dragons books, a fishing rod, a pair of green sandals, a pet hamster—but then, as each demand becomes more extreme, events take a morbid twist. And what if, after all these sacrifices, the pile is still not meaningful enough to bring Pierre Anthon down?","brand":"Atheneum Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42937947226367,"sku":"9781442441163","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_e883f52a-fb44-4400-bbc9-38cae1f06632.jpg?v=1773329232","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781442441163","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
