Would like some finding it online to purchase or otherwise. <br /><br /> The general plot is that there is a kid who can leave his body whenever he wants. He spies on a group of bullies, discovers their plans to eat some mushrooms, and he replaces the mushrooms with posioness mushrooms which results in their death.<br> <br> The kid is a bit of nerd, the mother is an alcoholic and his father might be abusive. He has to practice and learn how to leave his body and he uses it as a method to escape the pain inflicted by his parents and the bullies.<br> <br> She would have read this book back around in 1988, and the book is most likely older than that.<br> <br> She thinks the title is 'Night Flyer'. We have been unsuccesful in finding the book under that title. It is NOT the title that <br> Stephan King wrote under the title 'Night Flier'. post:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.45453 Mon, 28 Aug 2006 20:22:52 -0800 killThisKid book nightFlyer nightFlier http://ask.metafilter.com/45453/Looking-for-a-book-called-Night-Flyer-or-some-variation-there-of#694886 You just added an extra space.
