Palacio, but i think that any reader will enjoy this excellent debut novel from Alex Lyttle." - JacobtheBookworm, Goodreads highly recommend this book to fans of the book Wonder by R. "This book is heart-breaking, gut-wrenching, and awe-inspiring. "A moving and ultimately hopeful book."- Booklist "An honest portrayal of love, loss, and friendship." - School Library Journal "Tender, direct, and honest."- Kirkus Reviews At least not until a diagnosis makes things at home start spinning out of control and he's left wondering whether Sammy will ever complete his own journey. Cal feels guilty but not enough to change. When Calvin meets Aleta Alvarado, a new girl who shares his love for Goosebumps books and adventure, Sammy is pushed aside. And Sammy is all too eager - as long as it means getting a "Level" and moving one step closer to his brother's Eagle status. It's hot, he has no friends and the only kid around is his six-year-old brother, Sammy, who can barely throw a basketball as high as the hoop.Ĭal occupies his time by getting his brother to do almost anything: from collecting ants to doing Calvin's chores. He's recently moved from a big city to a small town and there's nothing to do. It's the summer before grade six and Calvin Sinclair is bored to tears. My name is Calvin Sinclair, I'm eleven years old and I have a confession.
