Description
Twelve-year-old Trace Reynolds has always looked up to his older brother Will, who taught him how to ride a bike and cheered him on at Little League. But when Will was knocked out cold during a football game, everything changed. Now, seventeen months later, their family is still living under the weight of "the incident," which left Will with a facial tic, depression, and an anger he cannot always control. As Trace tries to support his brother, who struggles with addiction to pain medication, he begins to notice that something is wrong. Will becomes withdrawn and starts to steal money and ditch school. Trace realizes that some secrets can't be kept, and he must find a way to help his brother before it's too late. This heart-wrenching novel in verse explores the complex bond between two brothers and the love they share, even in the darkest of times.
