Highly-acclaimed author of Caterpillar Summer, Gillian McDunn explores boyhood in a funny, big-hearted story about a kid trying to find the best way to be his best self.
Elliott isnt sure where he fits in. Ever since his best friend moved away and his dad and stepmom announced the arrival of their new baby, hes been feeling invisible. Plus his dad just doesnt seem to understand what having ADHD really feels like, or why cooking is the one activity where Elliotts mind clicks into place.
When hes paired with the super smart and popular Maribel for a school project, Elliott worries shell be just another person who underestimates him. But Maribel is also looking for a new way to show others her true self and this project could be the chance theyve both been waiting for. Sometimes the least likely friends help you see a new side to things . . . and sometimes you have to make a few mistakes before you figure out whats right.
