(3) 4-6 After his mom’s death, eleven-year-old Lenny and his dad move from New Jersey to Tennessee. Lenny attends middle school on the university campus where his dad now teaches; he struggles to adjust but finds friendship and connection with his classmates and an elderly professor. The unusual school setting -- the school’s curriculum is based on auditing college classes and observing undergraduates -- adds a unique twist to Lenny’s authentic and poignant journey through grief.
