There are a couple of other odd things, too. He weighs the same in his clothes and out of them, no matter how heavy they are. Scott doesn't want to be poked and prodded. He mostly just wants someone else to know, and he trusts Doctor Bob Ellis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the small town of Castle Rock, the setting of many of King's most iconic stories, Scott is engaged in a low grade--but escalating--battle with the lesbians next door whose dog regularly drops his business on Scott's lawn. One of the women is friendly; the other, cold as ice. Both are trying to launch a new restaurant, but the people of Castle Rock want no part of a gay married couple, and the place is in trouble. When Scott finally understands the prejudices they face-including his own--he tries to help. Unlikely alliances, the annual foot race, and the mystery of Scott's affliction bring out the best in people who have indulged the worst in themselves and others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom Stephen King, our \"most precious renewable resource, like Shakespeare in the malleability of his work\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e), \u003ci\u003eElevation\u003c\/i\u003e is an antidote to our divisive culture, as gloriously joyful (with a twinge of deep sadness) as \"It's a Wonderful Life.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Scribner Book Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/30\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982102319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.30h x 5.30w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2018 pg. 18\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2018 pg. 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2018 pg. 22\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/24\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2018 pg. 66\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e507142 \/ Elevation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 5.2 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Upper Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Stephen King","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36674209775772,"sku":"9781982102319","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_1cd78c74-d5ff-475f-870a-20e3b951b8da.jpg?v=1603931555","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/elevation-9781982102319","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
