When young Sam Webber's father disappears without a trace, Sam and
his mother are forced to relocate to a tough neighbourhood closer
to her job. Unfamiliar with his surroundings and intimidated by the
students of his new school, Sam recounts details of his life with
touching, humorous sincerity. Living in a tiny apartment, he is
forced to deal with the legacy of depression that marked his
father, and threatens to envelop him. The city remains a cold and
unwelcoming place to Sam until he meets Greely, an elderly Black
caretaker at his junior school. Through this unlikely friendship
Sam begins to heal, as well as confront the racism that surrounds
his community and his life. Afternoons of football in the park and
greasy meals at the local Little Tavern lead Sam to discover that
friendship and warmth can rise even in the saddest of times. This
is masterfully written novel full of beautifully drawn
unforgettable characters.
