But when he is recruited to play on the football team, things begin to change. April, the girl he has a crush on, begins to notice him, he becomes popular with his classmates, and he gains more self confidence. Life should be good, right? But Andy’s not feeling it. Before he can be happy he has to figure out, “who do I want to be?” A funny and insightful read. (Grades 8 & up)
