Ostrich Boys / Keith Gray / 297 pages

Blake, Dim, and Kenny are upset at the death of their 15-year-old friend, Ross.  The 3 are furious at the hypocrisy of the people who made Ross's life difficult expressing their grief at his funeral.  While vandalizing the homes of these guilty parties, the boys decide to steal Ross's ashes and take them to Ross, Scotland - a place to which Ross had express a desire to go.  The boys set off on their journey, discovering that Ross had, in fact, committed suicide.  Great adventure, humor, and much bad language mark this tale of friendship and the devastating ramifications and causes of teenage suicide.
