Who the Man — Chris Lynch

Earl doesn't want to be a bully. It's not his fault that his body is as big as a football player's! Thirteen-year-old middle-schooler Earl has the body and facial scruff of a manand this gets him into trouble. Everyone thinks Earl's a tough guy, but he's just trying to get by. Thinking he knows what's right from wrongand using his fists to prove his pointearns him a week's suspension from school. Earl thinks he'll have a relaxing week, but things soon slip out of his control when his home life starts to fall apart. He may be as big as a grown-up, but Earl will learn that being a man means more than how you look on the outside.
