(3) 4-6 This poignant coming-of-age story follows Walter, a fifth grader navigating his father's absence, a new school, and life with his grandfather. As he delves into advice left by his dad, embraces creativity, and forms new friendships, Walter confronts the complexities of love, forgiveness, and self-discovery. With a blend of humor and emotional depth, the novel deftly explores themes of loss and healing, offering a tender, reflective journey through childhood’s bittersweet moments.
