In the sequel to Junebug, he and his mother and sister have moved from their housing project to an apartment building. Junebug faces up to bullying classmates and eventually becomes friends with the cranky retired minister his mother insists he spend time with. The characters are well drawn, and the many themes speak to the life of a young boy faced with many changes.
