Description

From the creator of the National Book Award nominee A TANGLE OF KNOTS comes an inspiring novel about figuring out who you are and doing what you love.

Albie has never been the smartest kid in his class. He has never been the tallest. Or the most productive at gym. Or the greatest artist. Or the most musical. If truth be told, Albie has a long list of the things he is not very good at. But then Albie gets a new babysitter, Calista, who helps him figure out the entire things he is good at and how he can take pride in himself.

A perfect companion to Lisa Graff’s National Book Award-nominated A Tangle of Knots, this novel explores a similar theme in a realistic up to date world where kids will easily be capable to relate their own struggles to Albie’s. Great for fans of Rebecca Stead’s Liar and Spy, RJ Palacio’s Wonder and Cynthia Lord’s Rules.

Praise for Lisa Graff’s novels

Tangle of Knots (nominated for a National Book Award)
* “Combining the literary sensibility of E. B. White with the insouciance of Louis Sachar, Graff has written a tangle that are supposed to satisfy readers for years yet to come.”–Booklist, starred review

Double Dog Dare
“Graff’s…story is lighthearted and humorous, but honestly addresses the emotions associated with divorce. Her characters’ voices, interactions, and hangups are relatable, as they battle each and every other and adjust to their families’ reconfigurations.”–Publishers Weekly
