Now, two weeks before Keegans sixteenth birthday, he has a dream about his own death. Understanding that Michael was supposed to have lived, and it was he who was meant to have died, Keegan sets out to right all the wrongs by planning his own suicide.\n\nBut in the final weeks before his 16th birthday and his last day on earth, life intercedes in the plan: Keegan joins the wrestling team and a dialogue between him and his father begins. And it may just be enough to change Keegans ideas about confession, penance, and the gift of being alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Scholastic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45815994318901,"sku":"ByrdShop_0439194458","price":58.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780439194457_74cdf09e-40b5-483e-8dae-e2a2e8bd8688_d831d607-eb8e-44cb-a43a-5829f0265230.jpg?v=1789988980","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/st-michaels-scales-9780439194457","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
