Description
In sixth grade, Archer is trying to make sense of growing up by leaning on the steady influence of four role models—his dad, his grandfather, his uncle Paul, and his favorite teacher, Mr. McLeod. When two of those anchors, Uncle Paul and Mr. McLeod, get married, Archer’s world shifts in ways both surprising and deeply meaningful. Through the lens of family, friendship, and first-time feelings, he navigates change with humor, honesty, and a child’s determination to understand what love and commitment look like in real life. Richard Peck’s warm, observant storytelling captures the emotional complexity of adolescence while celebrating the bonds that help us endure—and reinvent—our sense of home.
