Description

Benny Barrows has always felt like he’s one bad break away from disaster—especially since a past accident left his father in the hospital and Benny convinced himself he’s to blame. As fourth grade brings new challenges, he throws himself into a school contest, hoping that winning will finally prove he matters and that he can be good at something. But the closer he gets to the spotlight, the more he must confront the difference between fear and truth, and learn how to ask for help when confidence won’t come on command. With Cammie McGovern’s warm, accessible storytelling, this middle-grade novel explores anxiety, self-worth, and the resilience it takes to turn “just my luck” into something like hope.
