Description:
Synopsis: Twelve-year-old Evan Goldman is ripped from the emotional comforts of his New York City home when his parents divorce and his mother takes him to Appleton, Indiana. There, Evan prepares for his bar mitzvah, befriends a no-nonsense sort of girl, falls in with the popular but shallow middle-school crowd, suffers neglect by his old N.Y.C. friends, and alternately sympathizes with and is appalled by the disabled boy who lives across the street. Evan’s social- and self-awareness get a workout as he realizes the moral edges of both his own and others’ behavior. Hardback
