The novel is a about fracking in USA. The novel protagonist is a high school student who plays scrabble - Winston Crwth. Winston is studying in Hale on Dark scholarship. Hale has given their land for lease to Dark Oil & Gas which uses the same for fracking. The fracking around the school is causing water pollution which is making all the school student and faculty ill. Winston Crwth want to win a scrabble competition, so that she can meet the Governor LaRue. Every scrabble winner gets an opportunity for photo with the Governor. Winston plan is to win the scrabble competition and then meet the Governor to tell him about fracking and lot of other things. The novel is told in first person as Winston Crwth. He goes through his adolescent thought and the book is fun to read.
I really like the way Author has made effort to make things easy to stick in your head. For example: protagonist tells that his name has Winston as in Winston Churchill and Crwth with w as in truth. There are lot of scrabble words and anagrams in the books which makes it a fun read.
