Overview
A book about the lengths to which a kid will go to fit in in sixth grade, perfect for fans of See You in the Cosmos and Fish in a Tree.
After a tornado tears the roof of the school cafeteria, and Itch's mother goes on a two-month business trip in China, Itch's sixth grade year begins badly--particularly because he can't do fractions. At least he has his job at the pheasant farm, and the guys at school and Sydney to hang out with when he's not working. But when trading school lunches goes wrong and Sydney gets rushed away in an ambulance, Itch thinks it's his fault. When you suddenly don't have any friends, would you do anything--even things that are wrong--to get them back?
This novel by a debut author, set in the Ohio heartland, captures the issues and feelings of being in middle school in a warm, humorous, and above all, recognizable, way.
