(4) 4-6 Twelve-year-old Caleb, who has cystic fibrosis, struggles to cope with his overprotective mother and preoccupied remarried father. Caleb's life changes when he ditches summer camp to hang out with exuberant new friend Kit, who Caleb eventually learns has a mentally unstable and abusive mother. Accurate information about cystic fibrosis throughout overshadows the children's genuine friendship in this well-intentioned but issues-centric story.
