Synopsis from RandomBooks:

All 16-year-old Cameron wants is to get through high school—and life in general—with a minimum of effort. Its not a lot to ask. But that's before hes given some bad news: hes sick and hes going to die. Which totally sucks. Hope arrives in the winged form of Dulcie, a loopy punk angel/possible hallucination with a bad sugar habit. She tells Cam there is a cure—if hes willing to go in search of it. With the help of a death-obsessed, video-gaming dwarf and a yard gnome, Cam sets off on the mother of all road trips through a twisted America into the heart of what matters most. Can Cameron find what he's looking for?
