About This Book
Reach for this book when your teenager is feeling the immense pressure of adult-sized responsibilities or navigating the chaotic aftermath of losing a primary caregiver. It is a poignant, often eccentric story about JP, a teen whose world falls apart after his grandmother's death, leaving him to care for a father with an intellectual disability and a mother who is emotionally and physically overwhelmed. While it touches on heavy themes of grief and parent-child role reversal, it is ultimately a story about finding a new kind of 'normal' and the resilience required to hold a family together when the traditional pillars have crumbled. It is best suited for mature readers aged 12 and up who appreciate realistic fiction that doesn't shy away from the messiness of life.
