Description
That trick for monsters: if I closed my eyes and counted to three, would it all go away?Eighth-grader Ollie Wade is dreading the school dance. Unlike his four friends, it isn't because he can't land a date... it's because he doesn't want one. All he wants is to keep to himself and get through the night with his secret intact. Going stag might be his best defense -- if he's strong enough to do it.
Long before he was the key-touching guy from
The Painting of Porcupine City, Ollie Wade was a boy discovering that his life would be more complicated than he ever imagined.
