Carl DeReese only wants to survive junior high school in the Salt
Lake City suburbs, but in an era where teachers are afraid of the
students, some of his behavior is misdiagnosed as threatening. His
longing to fit into a new school is complicated by a family
tragedy, followed by a breakdown in the classroom that leads to
criminal charges.
When he finally makes friends with a kid named Dex, his troubles
seem to have ended. Typical teenage angst is multiplied when the
expected birth of a sibling turns tragic, leaving Carl heartbroken
and confused. A callous teacher pushes Carl into an emotional
corner and his outburst results in suspension from school and
criminal charges.
With so many authority figures assuming that he is dangerous
and threatening, Carl has to decide for himself if he truly
believes what everyone is telling him. The friends he makes and the
support from his parents might be the only things that help him
survive. His emotions are honest, his online confessions are
genuine and heartbreaking, and his fear of what the next day brings
will make even older readers wonder how they survived junior high
school.
