博客來Sixth-grader Adam Krasner wishes every family decision wasn’t based on his brother Jeremy and Jeremy’s problems. The Krasners have even moved to a new town because it has a great school system for kids with disabilities. If only Jeremy didn’t always act so goofy. If only their mother didn’t insist that both brothers be placed on the same Little League team, especially since Jeremy couldn’t catch a fly ball if his life depended on it.
Making friends in a new school isn’t easy, which is why Adam is excited when Eddie, his coach’s son, starts spending time with him. Eddie is the best player on their team and in seventh grade, like Jeremy. Eddie invites Adam to join some of the team for pizza before a game but tells him. ＂And don’t bring Jeremy.＂
Eddie, he soon learns, often lies and makes fun of Jeremy every chance he can. Then, Jeremy is accused of doing something truly awful, forcing Adam to take a stand and support his brother.
A story written from a true-life inspiration by the author, this book shines a light on what it means to be different and the importance of acceptance.
