Reach for this book when your child feels like they are being shielded from the truth about a family separation or living arrangement. Conrad is a thirteen year old boy living with relatives in St. Louis while his parents live separate lives in New York City. Driven by a need for clarity, he travels to Manhattan to confront them and find out why they are not a family anymore.

For children ages 10 to 14, this story provides a realistic and unsentimental look at finding your own identity when your home life feels fractured.
