The book is "Jerk California" by Jonathan Friesen.
Organizer Mary Anne Gallagher tells CHSJ News the book is about Sam Carrier who is from a broken home and has just finished high school.
She says the whole story involves his search for information on his father, dealing with his Tourett's syndrome and dealing with a girl and trying to figure out if she likes him. She says it's appealing to high school kids and adults alike.
The book's author Jonathan Friesen will visit Rothesay High students next month to discuss his novel. Students, adults and businesses are being given a little incentive where by taking part in the big read, they can win a coffee party from Java Moose.
