From the critically acclaimed author of Waiting for Normal and All Rise for the Honorable Perry T. Cook, Leslie Connor, comes a deeply poignant and beautifully crafted story about self-reliance, redemption, and hope. This middle grade novel is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 5 to 6, especially during homeschooling. It's a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged while not in the classroom.

Mason Buttle is the biggest, sweatiest kid in his grade, and everyone knows he can barely read or write. Mason's learning disabilities are compounded by grief. Fifteen months ago, Mason's best friend, Benny Kilmartin, turned up dead in the Buttle family's orchard.

An investigation drags on, and Mason, honest as the day is long, can't understand why Lieutenant Baird won't believe the story Mason has told about that day.

Both Mason and his new friend, tiny Calvin Chumsky, are relentlessly bullied by the other boys in their neighborhood, so they create an underground haven for themselves. When Calvin goes missing, Mason finds himself in trouble again. He's desperate to figure out what happened to Calvin and, eventually, Benny.

But will anyone believe him?

Comfy Hoodie
Size: Large, Color: Mg03- Splatter1
This brand makes some decent stuff. This is a nice thinner hoodie with some stretchy materials and a cool splatter design. Comfy and easy to move in/ use for active occasions or just for chillin. Very versatile. Color doesn’t fade or hasn’t yet for me and I like the contrasting drawstrings. Size is right on; I ordered a size up and there’s plenty of room for layering. However if you put anything heavy in the front pocket, like a wallet, the material will give way and sag.

Buy it.
Size: Large, Color: Mg03- Ethnic
I dont leave many reviews, because life. However, this pullover deserves a review. Yes, it is big. Normally I would wear an XL but ordered a L based off sizing and reviews. The L is a hair big but I love the way it fits and its comfy.bthe color and quality is great. It is a little warm with the fleece lining, so it will be worn inside until fall, ir on cool summer evenings. I bought 2 and may buy more.

Big guy, big smiles!
Size: XX-Large, Color: Mg03- Ethnic
I picked two different patters of these lightweight hoodies for golfing and they're now an everyday item! Active wise, these stretch in every direction while moving without friction. I wore this hoodie for the first seven holes before the sun broke through the clouds without noticing it. My only concern, while premature is the stiching on the sleeves. I felt the loops catching the velcro on my glove a few times, but after 7 holes, and 20+ shots, I didn't see any sign of abrasion. I'm a big guy, 6'4" 290# I usually wear a XLT shirt and picked these up as XXL. Wasn't swimming in them, they fit nicely and fell in line with the hem of my shirt. I plan to buy several more!
