What is this book?

Where the world ends.

Shalot

The title of this book, Where the World Ends is deceptive, as is the cover art. You think it's going to be some cool sci fi about some kind of black hole that forms in your neighbor's basement, but instead it turns out to be some sappy touchy feely pyschological book about a troubled little kid who gets molested by his step father after his mother dies. What a disappointment
