Description

In the middle of sixth-grade chaos, twelve-year-old Charlotte Lockard and eleven-year-old Ben Boxer find themselves worlds apart—separated by more than a thousand miles and the messy realities of growing up. When their online friendship begins through a Scrabble game, their messages and choices start to intersect in surprising ways, revealing how small acts of courage can ripple outward. As both children navigate friendship, family pressure, and the fear of being misunderstood, the story explores empathy, identity, and the power of connection to change what happens next. With Erin Entrada Kelly’s warm, witty storytelling and keen emotional insight, this is a fast-moving, heartfelt novel about listening closely—especially when you can’t be in the same room.
