My Temporary Life by Martin Crosbie

If you enjoy a book that is both non-predictable and interesting to the end, I recommend
My Temporary Life by Martin Crosbie When Malcolm was ten, his parents divorced, and Malcolm began spending the school year with his father in Scotland and his summers with his mother in Canada. It was then that he began thinking of his life as his temporary life--a life without permanence. His adventures with his school friend, Hardly, in Scotland are both bitter and sweet.  In Canada, he finds George and his sister, Rose, to give him a sense of worth to carry him into adulthood.  It is when Malcolm meets a colorful woman to really care about, that intrigue comes into his life, and he feels the peace of a regimented life turn to panic complete with a conflict with the law and a car chase.
