Fourteen-year-old Brandon is a troublemaker. Or so they say. People assume he’s stupid and mean but Brandon doesn’t care what people think. He has more important things to do. And he knows how to keep secrets… Then the George family moves in — Leon, Winnie and Sam – the only black family in town. There is something else unusual about them, something they are hiding, and Brandon is determined to find out what it is…

Read on for fights, sports, music, racism, secrets, dirt bikes, fires, a secret crush, missing persons, a dead body, and a good ending to it all.
