A "sleeper hit". This book full of poetry should stay on your mind long after read. A boy tries to please his father and bullied over his weight. He finds friends and solace in singing. I don't really like books in verse but I found myself eager to find out how he was going to face his issues. Every child has that struggle to be accepted by his parents and usually fathers are harder to connect to. I liked how he overcame his bully and moved on in life in a practical way. A quiet, simpler book with depth. Nice variety in getting a window into a young boy's mind.
