(3) YA Eighth grader Kenny calls himself "Cricket Man" for rescuing crickets from his family's swimming pool. He'd love to be someone's real hero--especially sixteen-year-old Jodie Poindexter's, a neighbor whose sadness only he seems to see. When Jodie's pregnancy is revealed, Kenny gets his chance. Kenny relates the slowly unfolding story in an engaging way.
