Wonderful Book!

This is a story about a middle school boy, Nick, coming to terms with his mentally ill father. The story is written from Nick's point of view. Like Nick, any adolescent will relate to his life long desire to be a member of a team, his deep need and struggles to blend in with his peers--to fit in, and his awful longing for a dad to share things with, and much more.
