Publisher's Synopsis
Alex begins that difficult time of life - puberty. Things change, rapidly.
He finds himself feeling new and frightening things, especially for his first best friend ever. In the confusion and tumult of a single moment, he exposes his deepest secret to his best friend, only to lose him - and all of his friends when his secret spreads through the school. He becomes an outcast.
Then he moves.
High school starts in just a couple of months, and he hasn't even adjusted to his new home yet, when his parents send him off to a summer study camp for kids entering high school. Camp Howitt offers numerous opportunities, but Alex finds that the best one isn't listed in the brochure. He learns quite a bit about himself - more than he could have ever expected. And he loses more than he'd ever had before.
