Description
Mick Harte is a boy with a big imagination and an even bigger heart, and when he’s sent to live with his grandmother, the move becomes the start of a new chapter—full of small-town mysteries, unexpected friendships, and the kind of everyday challenges that feel monumental to a child. As Mick navigates school, family expectations, and the shifting dynamics of growing up, he discovers that courage isn’t always loud; sometimes it’s the quiet decision to keep going. With humor and warmth, this beloved middle-grade story explores belonging, grief, resilience, and the ways children make sense of change. Barbara Park’s distinctive, accessible storytelling brings vivid characters and emotional honesty to the page, making this a standout read for anyone who’s ever felt both lost and determined to be found.
