Summary of Antsy Does Time Summary of Antsy Does Time Reviews for Antsy Does Time An Excerpt from Antsy Does Time
Fueled by friendship and sympathy, Antsy Bonano signs a month of his life over to his “dying” classmate Gunnar Umlaut. Soon everyone at school follows suit, giving new meaning to the idea of “living on borrowed time.” But does Gunnar really have six months to live, or is news of his imminent death greatly exaggerated? When a family member suffers a heart attack after donating two years to Gunnar, Antsy wonders if he has tempted fate by playing God. Fans of “the Schwa” will welcome favorite and new characters in this wholly fresh tale, which is as touchingly poignant as it is darkly comical.

"The wisecracking teenage Brooklynite introduced in Shusterman's award-winning The Schwa Was Here takes a second ride on the emotional roller coaster in this equally screwball sequel. This will keep readers hooked from start to finish." -Booklist, starred review
