About the book: 2018 / Scott Carey is an ordinary American with an unusual problem: he is rapidly losing weight, but remains the same in appearance. And it doesn't matter whether he weighs himself with clothes on, the pockets of which are full of change, or without it, the scale shows the same numbers. Besides this, Scott is worried about something else... His new neighbors Deirdre McComb and Missy Donaldson. More precisely, their dogs, who love to spoil his lawn... But time passes, and Scott's secret illness progresses every day. Isn't this a reason to change something? That's why, while the town prepares for the annual Thanksgiving Day race, Scott, despite all the odds, decides to help his neighbors become a part of Castle Rock and improve their relationships with the residents. Will he be able to prove that every person, even cold as ice, has his own bright side??..
