Publisher's Synopsis
"Profound, moving, and - as Charlotte would say - radiant, this book will stay with anyone lucky enough to find it." - Publishers Weekly, starred review for MELISSA (previously titled GEORGE)
Rick's never questioned much.
He's tagged along with his best friend Jeff, even when Jeff's acted like a bully. He's let his Dad joke with him about girls, even though it makes him feel uncomfortable. Everyone around him seems to think that they've figured him out. But the truth is, Rick hasn't given his own identity much thought.
Now Rick's in middle school, and it's a place of new possibilities. With the help of his new friends that he meets at the Rainbow Spectrum club, Rick embarks on a journey to find out who he truly is.
An inspiring story about finding your place in the world.
