The case has captured the nation’s imagination but Kajii refuses to speak with the press, entertaining no visitors. It's also an interesting look into the demon-spawn hell-child that is High School, especially what it means for someone like Butter. From the economic importance of milkmaids in pre-industrial Europe to the role of dietary fats in bringing about the Reformation, all the way to profiles of modern butter crafters and classic recipes that feature butter as a main ingredient, Khosrova covers butter’s history, science and lore in a friendly, conversational style.

Over the last few months, he's made good friends with Anna online -- Anna goes to his school, fits in with the in crowd, and has absolutely no idea the boy she talks to online (who goes by the name JP) is really Butter.This is not an easy book to read, Butter is full of self loathing and has the complicated attitude to match; he is not always likable and doesn’t realize how much he gets in his own way when it comes to making friends.
