Award-winning adult author Benjamin Markovits delivers a poignant
coming-of-age middle grade story that will give comfort to anyone
feeling like a small fish in a Texas-size sea. Perfect for fans of
Kevin Henkes, Rebecca Stead, and Kate DiCamillo. Twelve-year-old
Ben is a shy, quiet kid. His life isn't perfect, but he feels at
home in his New York City apartment. Then his dad takes a job in
London, and everything changes. His parents separate, and Ben's mom
moves them back to her hometown of Austin, Texas. Ben's simple life
is suddenly complicated. He misses his apartment, his best friend,
Jake, and his dad. Then he meets Mabley, who becomes a bright spot
to Ben's day. But when his mom starts working at his new school and
making friends with his teacher, Ben finds himself at the center of
all the problems the adults around him can't resolve-and even some
of his own. That includes joining the school's basketball team,
where Mabley's best friend is the star player. After being pushed
around, looking for his place, Ben will have to learn how to stand
his ground.
