 Written by Janet Tashjian
Larry really can teach you the meaning of life while he is learning it himself. Larry (or Josh, if you prefer) is an 18 year old trying to find why he should live. He has run for president, blogged life questions, and now returned home-- barely getting off the couch. He doesn't want to do anything. With family and friends worried about him, Larry is pushed to Walden Pond to try and function again. His experiences at Walden Pond were funny, touching, and a world of surprises. Laughing the whole way through the book, Larry takes a journey you can only envy.
