Rick's never questioned much. He's tagged along with his best
friend Jeff, even when Jeff's acted like a bully. He's let his Dad
joke with him about girls, even though it makes him feel
uncomfortable. Everyone around him seems to think that they've
figured him out. But the truth is, Rick hasn't given his own
identity much thought. Now Rick's in middle school, and it's a
place of new possibilities. With the help of his new friends that
he meets at the Rainbow Spectrum club, Rick embarks on a journey to
find out who he truly is. An inspiring story about finding your
place in the world.
