A tender-souled boy reeling from the death of his best friend struggles to fit into a world that wants him to grow up tough and unfeeling in this stunning middle grade novel in verse from the Newbery Honor-winning author of Genesis Begins Again. Its the summer before high school and Isaiah feels lost. He thought this summer was going to be just him and his homies Drew and Darius, hangin out, doing wheelies, and watching martial arts movies--a lot of chillin before high school and the Future. But more and more, Drew will barely talk to him--barely even look at him--and though he wont admit it, Isaiah knows its because of Darius, because Darius is...gone. And Isaiah wasnt even there when it happened, with his best friend in his final moments. But hes going to be there now. Him and Drew both, theyre gonna spend the summer breaking every single record they can think of, for Darius, for his dream of breaking world records. But Drews not the same Drew, and Isaiah being Isaiah isnt enough for Drew anymore. Not his taste in music, his love for D&D, his interest in taking photos, or his aversion to jumping off rooftops. The real Isaiah is sensitive; hes uncool. And one day something unspeakable happens to Isaiah that makes him think Drews right. If only he could be less sensitive, more tough, less weird, more cool, more contained, less him, things would be easier. But how much can Isaiah keep inside until he shatters wide open?
