You can never tell where a simple line may lead...
April is desperately looking for an escape from all the gossip and drama of the sixth grade lunch hour, so she signs up to be a Buddy Bench monitor for the fourth grade recess.
Joey Byrd is a fourth grade outcast who just wants to be left alone. He's a boy on the fringes, who wanders the playground alone, dragging his feet through the dirt. What is the purpose of his mysterious lines? Are they really as random as they seem?
Read about the photograph that inspired the novel.
