It isn't easy being a kid, and it's even harder to grow up; but sometimes there are people along the way who can really help you. The main thing is you need to believe in yourself and in who you are and you need to keep on believing in yourself and who you are no matter what. Penelope Dyan brings all of these thoughts into focus through the un-named heroine in this book. The reason her heroine has no name is so you can think of her as if she is you! Dyan is an award winning author, a former teacher and an attorney who not only understands kids of all ages, she remembers when she was a kid! This is why all her books are age appropriate and funny as well as age friendly. Life is not always perfect, but Dyan reminds us to stay the course and to never forget to be true to who we are

For fans of David Almond’s Skellig and Patrick Ness’s A Monster Calls, here is a lyrical, atmospheric, and deeply emotional middle-grade novel with a touch of magical realism. Twins Jamie and Ned do everything together, from watching their favorite show, Star Trek, to riding their bikes, to beachcombing after a storm. But Ned is sick with cystic fibrosis, and he may someday leave Jamie behind. One day the boys find a strange animal on the beach: smooth flesh on one end, scales at the other, and short arms and legs with long webbed fingers and toes. Could it be a merman, like in the old stories Granddad tells? Together, the boys name the creature Leonard and decide to hide him in a tub in their garage. But . . . why is Leonard here? Jamie hopes he might bring some miracle that will stop his brother from going where he can no longer follow. But Ned, who grows closer to Leonard every day, doesn’t seem to be getting any better. . . ."An elegant story of courage and loss." —The Wall Street Journal"A heartrending but ultimately uplifting adventure novel." —School Library Journal, Starred"A hauntingly beautiful story about brotherly bonds, wrenching grief, and the untethered hope that everything will somehow work out." —Publishers Weekly, Starred"Captivating." —Shelf Awareness, StarredFrom the Hardcover edition.
