| Alone. That's how Justin feels these days. There's not much left for him to do but to put his brain in neutral and slide into the state he calls "the Big Nothing." "Serious and humorous by turns, this seemingly simple story is actually quite complex but not weighty and will be enthusiastically embraced."--"School Library Journal" (starred review). |

From the Publisher:
Bored and restless after his brother joins the Army, his father leaves the family, and his best friend gets a new girlfriend, thirteen-year-old Justin feels alone in the world until he finds a new friend in Jemmie who, with the help of her grandmother, teaches him the power of expression through music. Reprint.A middle-schooler struggles to cope with major family problems, including a brother who might be heading for the Persian Gulf, but finds an escape in piano lessons and the dream of a romance with a popular girl. |
