Nobody has done more over the years to help Jackson Watt deal with his parents’ divorce than his best friend, Brady. Whenever Jackson has felt confused and betrayed, Brady has shown him how to get in trouble in ways that will make his parents blame themselves for his behavior. But when Brady takes off just before the start of their senior year in high school, Jackson finds himself left alone to face some of the biggest changes in his life: like his mother’s remarriage and an accident that nearly kills his father. As he struggles through a year where he’s expected to be more “grown-up” than the adults surrounding him, Jackson experiences some of life’s greatest joys and sorrows - and a final, unexpected lesson from Brady at the gates of Graceland. Award-winning author Barbara Shoup’s honest, moving story captures the anger and despondency of growing up in a world where the rules are always changing. Johnny Heller’s narration gives spirited voice to all the frustrations of youth.

Everything is falling apart for high school senior Jackson Watt. His best friend Brady disappears without a word. His mom remarries, which means a new stepdad, a new house . . . a new life. He falls in love with the girl of his dreams, and then risks blowing it for good. It's only when Jax takes one last road trip to Graceland that he can accept the past year-and what it really means to grow up.
