- Synopsis
- This laugh-out-loud middle-grade novel follows thirteen-year-old Will— who hates hockey and loves dancing—as he navigates school, bullies, and his father&’s expectations.Will is a Canadian eighth grader who hates hockey—and he stinks at it, too. Will is bullied at school, doesn&’t have any friends, and is generally miserable. When Will's seventeen-year-old hockey-star cousin, Alex, arrives to stay with Will&’s family, Will and Alex quickly realize they can't stand each other. Then Will stumbles into a local dance school. He fights the urge to cha-cha, but he's good! When Will&’s dad finds out about the dancing, he basically forbids it. And Alex&’s dad refuses to listen to what Alex wants to do with his life. Will takes readers on a journey through noogies, awkward conversations, and epic farts. He worries, dances, and makes messes. Filled with humor, nuance, and emotion, this novel asks what makes a family and what makes a man.
