But when every note they send is anonymous, identity is suddenly
what they make it. Between her father's posting overseas and her
best friend Sienna's move to the other side of the country, seventh
grade is looking lonely for Jane MacDonald. But Sienna has left her
with one last trick: a hidden message in a library bookâthe
perfect plot to start a secret club and find Jane a new book-loving
friend. Tyson Flamand has problems of his own. Since the fourth
grade he's had a reputation as a bad kid, and there's no point
fighting it when teachers always think the worst. So when he finds
an anonymous note in the library looking for a nerdy new friend, he
knows he's the last person in the world it could be meant for. But
something makes him answer it anyway, and Tyson finds himself
pulled into a secret book club where being hidden may be the first
step to being truly seen. With the insight of a veteran
middle-school teacher, Colleen Nelson, author of the award-winning
Harvey Comes Home and Sadia, weaves together two stories of
identity, expectation, and the courage to challenge both. As their
paths move ever closer, Jane and Tyson both discover their own
self-reliance and their ability to overcome obstacles that seemed
insurmountable.
