      About This Book

      Running scared and talking glib, seventeen-year-old Jim Atwater has played father to his kid brother, Byron, since his parents' divorce eight years ago. But their ordered world falls apart when Jim's mother dies—and his father turns up out of nowhere for the funeral. Soon Jim and Byron are going to "nowhere" themselves, on a plane to Florida to live with him for the summer. Can Jim set aside his anger and come to terms with his father?
