Tony and his parents have moved from New York to Wyoming. It's huge change for them all, and Tony wishes his mother would stop being a helicopter parent. She wants to take to him school and he's in the sixth grade. He's old enough to go by himself but will she listen? His father tries to help the situation and sometimes does but not often. He knows it has something to do with a child who died before he was born but they won't tell him anything about it...
The author And Goddess Fish Blog allowed me to read this book and participate in this book tour. (Thank you.)
He makes himself a new friend and a school bully finds him the first day of school. Jed is fun; Regina is a pain. She's bigger than he is and he's timid. She loves to harass him. Jed tells him to ignore her. So does her teacher. But it's hard for him to do.
Tony finally gets a chance to go camping, fishing, and horseback riding with Jed. He learns things along the way and tries to be braver. But it's when he and his mother are home alone during a tornado he finds he has to step up and take care of things no matter how frightened he is...
Life isn't always easy but as Tony finds out you do what you have to do when you have to do them. He won't be wimpy anymore; he's found his strength of character.
