Description

In this heartfelt, character-driven novel, three students—Topher, Brand, and Steve—are forced to confront what it really means to be seen, challenged, and cared for by the one teacher they never want to disappoint. When Ms. Bixby unexpectedly announces she is very sick and won’t be able to finish the year, the boys hatch a daring plan that begins with their first act of cutting school and unfolds as a journey through their hometown. Told through interlocking stories, the book reveals how Ms. Bixby’s influence reshapes their understanding of growing up, responsibility, and the small choices that build a life. With a warm, witty voice and an emphasis on empathy, the novel explores themes of mentorship, loyalty, and the courage it takes to say goodbye—without ever losing the wonder of what comes next.
