From the critically acclaimed author of Waiting for Normal and All
Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook, Leslie Connor, comes a deeply
poignant and beautifully crafted story about self-reliance,
redemption, and hope. This middle grade novel is an excellent
choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 6, especially during
homeschooling. It's a fun way to keep your child entertained and
engaged while not in the classroom. Mason Buttle is the biggest,
sweatiest kid in his grade, and everyone knows he can barely read
or write. Mason's learning disabilities are compounded by grief.
Fifteen months ago, Mason's best friend, Benny Kilmartin, turned up
dead in the Buttle family's orchard. An investigation drags on, and
Mason, honest as the day is long, can't understand why Lieutenant
Baird won't believe the story Mason has told about that day. Both
Mason and his new friend, tiny Calvin Chumsky, are relentlessly
bullied by the other boys in their neighborhood, so they create an
underground haven for themselves. When Calvin goes missing, Mason
finds himself in trouble again. He's desperate to figure out what
happened to Calvin and, eventually, Benny. But will anyone believe
him? National Book Award Finalist * ALA Schneider Family Book Award
