Down and Across - Arvin Ahmadi

A young adult novel by Arvin Ahmadi.
A view of life -
lived by the kind of young people I see every week.
The main character
is Saakeet/Scott
whose parents have taken great care to guide his life towards success.
He is expected to intern in a laboratory during his summer break
while his parents travel home to Iran.
Instead
He goes looking for "grit."
He meets an interesting spectrum of people,
builds quality relationships
manages in adversity
There is adventure
a foundation of healthy honesty
and love.
