(2) 4-6 Fifth grader Derek is having a hard time. His former best friend now bullies him, his mother is moody, and his beloved father is serving in Afghanistan. A role in a school play introduces Derek to a supportive group. When Derek learns devastating news, he garners comfort and strength from unlikely sources. Readers whose lives are similar to Derek's will find a comrade here.
