Maverick is having a rough start to sixth grade. He wants to be a hero like his dad, he wants to fit in, heck - he wants to be taller. But from day one trouble follows him - namely from the bully Bowen. Even when he tries to help out other students he messes it up and either gets hurt, gets in trouble, or both. And then there is his home situation. With his dad gone his mom has really fallen apart - drinking, losing jobs, and terrible boyfriends. Can Maverick be the kind of person he wants to be?
I do enjoy Sonnenblick's books - especially the voice of the characters. This was not my favorite one but I do think the intended audience will enjoy it and I did like the way it ended.
