After his father leaves, eleven-year-old Milo takes comfort in his teacher's stories about idyllic Switzerland. Readers accompany Milo from fifth through tenth grade, getting to know him while he's puzzling through being ready to have meaningful interactions with other people. By story's end, Milo surprises himself, and edifies readers, after rekindling old friendships and coming to terms with his changing family.
