Everyone knows what Noah and his mom did. She drank too much, drove, and got in an accident. Because she was drinking at a party celebrating a football victory at the coach's house the coach also got in trouble. Then Noah took out his anger in an aggressive play which cause someone to get hurt. Now his mom is in jail and everyone is against him. Noah is trying to lay low and just survive but his mom keeps trying to talk to him and at school people can't seem to let it go.
Then there is the bear. A young bear gets its head caught in a bucket - a bucket that was used in a challenge to fundraise for getting the football team back. In a way Noah feels responsible for that too and is determined to help the bear.
This was a good story of forgiveness, redemption, second chances, friendship. There were characters I didn't like at all but the overall effect of the story was good.
