The List - (Everyone Can Be a Reader (Teen Contempor) by Keith Gray (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

It's the end of the summer and Denny is moving away with his mother now that she's found a good job, but he's not planning on leaving quietly. He's made a list of scores to settle, wrongs to right before he goes, and he's asked his best friend, Jake, to help.

Jake cannot believe Denny is leaving and worries what life will be like without him. Of course he'll do anything to help, no matter how weird or unrealistic the items on Denny's list might be. But the list is more powerful than either of them realize - it can make and break friendships.
