This is not how Kyle planned to spend his summer.
For as far back as Kyle can remember, he spent summers at Gram’s cottage on the lake. But this summer is different. Gram died. Dad moved out. And now Mom says they’ll have to sell the cottage because they can’t afford the upkeep anymore. Even fishing is different. Kyle’s neighbor Tom offers him five bucks a trip if he’ll take Tom fishing every morning. Tom’s all right, but he hardly talks. And he’s so…well, fat.
Author Sally Derby takes readers to a small lake in 1970s Michigan, where thirteen-year-old Kyle comes to realize how little we really know about other people – especially the ones we love the most.
