Description
A shift in perspective can change everything. This novel tells the story of two outsiders who find their rightful places through art and observation. April is looking for an escape from her sixth-grade lunch hour, which has become a social-scene nightmare. She signs up to be a "buddy bench monitor" for the fourth graders' recess, where she meets Joey Byrd, a boy who wanders the playground alone, dragging his foot through the dirt. Joey's "bird's eye" drawings reveal what he observes and thinks about every day, telling a story that emerges when viewed from above. The novel alternates between April's text and Joey's art, giving the reader a complete picture of their experiences as they find common ground.
