Eleven-year-old Lynn's once-happy home life has been a mess ever since her brother's military deployment, her dog's death, and the loss of her little sister, all within the past six months. When Lynn temporarily moves in with her grandparents in New York City, she's excited about the chance to get away from home and spend every afternoon playing her favorite sport at her grandfather's racquetball club.

It isn't as perfect as she imagined, however. Her worries about her brother don't go away. She can't help crying whenever she thinks about her sister. She refuses to let anyone at her new school get close to her, afraid that they'll ask questions about her family. To make everything worse, she has to share her racquetball court with cocky, loudmouthed, showoffy Jerr-the most annoying boy she's ever met.

Lynn is determined to push any thoughts of her situation aside, and focus all her energy into practicing for the upcoming tournament. As she and Jerr play their daily racquetball matches, however, she starts to realize that there's more to him than what meets the eye... and that he might be more similar to her than she thought.
