Thanks a Lot, Universe

 









Brian has always been shy and a bit awkward.  He does okay with his basketball team when playing but doesn't really hang out with the guys.  But when his dad skips town because of some trouble and his mom reacts by overdosing Brian's anxiety and then anger come out full force.

Ezra has wanted to be Brian's friend for awhile - maybe even more.  But he is afraid of what his friends, especially Colby, will think.  He's not sure he can be honest with them and explore his feelings for Brian.

Can the two navigate through what the universe is throwing their way?

This story had a lot of layers - some trauma with what Brian was going through, friendship stuff, as well as middle grade identity.  I liked this quite a bit.
